Chinese New Year 2 of 2

Chinese New Year celebrations here in South Africa. The celebrations was cut short when it started to rain!

Chinese New Year starts on the first day of the new year containing a new moon and ends on the Lantern Festival fourteen days later. This occurs around the time of the full moon as each lunation is about 29.53 days in duration.

Your visit and comment means a lot, thanks for stopping by :)
