Dragons and Kung Fu

The annual Chinese New Year Parade in San Francisco is the biggest one outside of Asia and it was happening very close to where I live. Went down and caught a bit of the action. Had been raining all day long and it stopped just for the parade. I was impressed by the super long dragon - biggest dragon i've ever seen.. over 30 people long.

Chinese New Year Parade 2010 in San Francisco !

I was driving on Saturday evening to go to the East Bay, when I stumbled upon the Chinese New Year Parade on Market St. I parked and got a few shots before going to the East Bay. The Chinese New Year Parade of San Francisco is among the biggest in the non-asian world. It was a huge procession with lots of floats and participants. I was very impressed for the short time I got to enjoy it.
