Happy Chinese New Year III

Hi V ... Another smiling face from the Chinese New Year celebrations welcoming the year of the snake.  This guy was on stilts, wearing a large padded suit and holding a golden cup.  My guess is that he is opening the new year with wishes of prosperity.  Cheers J.

    Love the combination of turquoise and red! Combined with this quirky smile and fascinating costume, the effect is stunning. I think I even see a very tiny snake on the right.

    Bises,
