  • Wedding gift parade<br /> <br /> During the wedding festivities in Huanggand Dong Village they were setting off a lot of firecrackers and the street was littered with firecracker debris. Suddently I saw a parade of people coming down the street carrying wedding gifts. It was amazing to see the volume and variety of gifts from small linen items, carried by children to large pieces of furniture, carried by the young men. There was lots of red colour, which is the Chinese wedding colour.<br /> <br /> Several photos of the parade can be seen here: <a href="http://goo.gl/OWFBd7">http://goo.gl/OWFBd7</a><br /> <br /> 28/06/15 <a href="http://www.allenfotowild.com">http://www.allenfotowild.com</a>
  • Pyrotechnic cacophony 'fireworks, bangers' and 'a harsh, discordant mixture of sounds'<br /> <br /> Running with live fireworks, Huanggang Dong Village, Guizhou Province, China<br /> <br /> After the parade of wedding gifts, the festivies degenerated into a loud, ear splitting cacophony, and a seemingly random unorganized fireworks frenzy. A popular 'trick' was lighting the end of a long red string of firecrakers and running down the street dragging the exploding string, as seen here. <br /> <br /> Other photos of the somewhat dangerous 'festivities' can be seen here: <a href="http://goo.gl/pFpaz2">http://goo.gl/pFpaz2</a><br /> <br /> 03/07/15 www allenfotowild.com
