The Year of the OX/ Chinese New Year

To Canal Street on the C train. East to Mott Street on a brisk, cold morning.

Such crowded pavements decorated by confetti shot from these cardboard launchers. Lots and lots of children enjoying the day.


This yellow dragon's head is riding on top of a stroller whose occupant is enveloped in plastic against the cold.


When the confetti is launched from the rockets,  there is a loud bang which some people find a little too much.


Everything is terrifically red. A symbol of good fortune.


The dragon dances into shops and restaurants.


The sidewalks have never looked so pretty.


It really gives you something to think about.
Susanna took much better pictures you can see here.
For MKate's  cool pictures of Chinese New Year in Malaysia go to Le Vie Est Belle.
