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.
