Hearing the loud banging of a drum we climbed the stairs of a restaurant in Sydney Australia's Chinatown and came upon the last day of celebrations for the Chineses Lunar New Year.
What a joyful celebration! Drums! Dragons dancing! People were feeding the dragon lettuce leaves. Lots of laughter, shouts, and smiles. Performing the dance during festivals is thought to bring good fortune and drive away evil spirits. How lucky we were to have chanced upon it.
Later we explored the Chinese Garden of Friendship in the heart of downtown Sydney and, to seal our luck, walked through its Moon Gates. This garden is definitely one of the most beautiful I've ever visited. Such care and attention to detail. Wherever you looked a perfect frame.
Full moon fell in Australia on Feb 13, at :53.
It was the Snow Moon in Toronto on Feb 12 8:53.
