Okay, so today wasn't the best of days in terms of weather!! I shot last years CNY celebrations, and had been planning to shoot this years. Usually I wouldn't step out in -degree temperatures and heavy rain combined but I enjoy photographing for the CLF kung fu team, so didn't hesistate! :)
I set my alarm for 08:15 but woke up myself before 08:00, so woke up and had a nice hot cuppa! By this time it was already raining...boo.
Started getting myself ready at 09:00, looked outside and the rain was coming down fast! I left the house by 10:00 and was out in Newcastle at 10:20. At this point, it was reeeeally chucking it down!
Chinatown was empty at that time, but usually its jam packed on a nicer day.
I'd like to just take this chance to say "thanks!" to Nick Shek for bailing out on me too...NAHT! :P
Anyway I wandered around myself whilst CLF were getting ready. Their first thing was a lion dance outside its home, Fujiyama. Next they brought the Dragon to the Arch (beginning of Chinatown). Then the lion paraded all through Chinatown, a lion dance on stage by Lil Mo and Richard, and then back to Fuji for the finish :)

That's all I'm gonna post!
I'm tired, cold, still a little damp from being out in the rain all day lol...
Hope you've liked these pics! :) thank you guys for taking the time out to read.
