Enter the Dragons-Lukang Lantern Festival 2012 (Taiwan)

Last week while we were at the Lukang Lantern Festival in Taiwan I saw lots of dragons. Being the Year of the Dragon this mystical creature was really in it’s element and the main feature at the lantern festival. Here are some shots of the Dragon which I managed to take on my camera.

An orange dragon with oranges for it’s body

The sameΒ  orange dragon lit up along the main road.

A dragon made ofΒ  pink pinwheels.

It was really impressive seeing all the pinwheels moving due to the strong wind.

Another hanging orange dragon. This one has money in it’s claws.
