2006.07.01 Lion on a stick

Hennessey Rd, Wan Chai

20060701 046.jpg

Another day of parades in Hong Kong. Actually I think maybe there was a parade in the morning and a march in the afternoon - I'm not quite sure of the terminology, since I haven't been reading newspapers recently.

Hong Kong is not a country, so it doesn't get its own National Day. Instead (surely as the result of a committee decision) we have Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Establishment Day.

Good suggestion. Not sure how to get that one through the relevant committee though!

ps A coworker suggests just call it "Honker's Day"

Yet another shot that makes me want a wide angle lense.

btw that lion really looks like an impaled trophy being marched down the street as the pride of the hunters. I bet that stick hurt.

So did you make any Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Establishment Day resolutions?

Oh wow excellent wide angle and pov. Thanks for the information too :-)
