Extra Info:
This is one the lanterns at the local Chinese Lantern Festival which is held annually during the holiday season leading up to the Chinese new year. The lanterns are very complex and large. This one is about 15 ft tall and 80 feet long. In Chinese legend four mythical creatures are guardians of the four compass directions. The Vermilion Bird is the guardian of the South.

So colorful and thanks for the extra info. It's fascinating to learn how other countries celebrate at this time of year.

I assume this is the same photog as the Main entry. Same comments. I think I like this one better. The colorful reflection is intriguing.
