The Year of the Tiger: The Dragon Dance

Dragon dances are common during Chinese New Year. It is believed that the loud beats of the drum and the deafening sounds of the cymbals together with the face of the dragon dancing aggressively can evict bad or evil spirits

This is dynamic and exciting, the zoom burst is a big plus. I think you might get to see my lion in three days :-)
