Charles, thanks for all the series of photos you are sharing, won't you tell us a little more of what we see in them, there obviously is a festival going on, or a parade, or some such thing, with many people out and about making music, watching, marching along... why?
And I am very drawn to the photo of that little one hiding behind his mommy's or daddy's leg.
(The signs don't read anything controversial, do they? You have to be careful with chinese signs on here... might well be misinterpreted.)
