Here in Washington, DC, this coming weekend will mark the celebration of the Chinese (Lunar) New Year. It is the year of the dragon, most auspicious of them all. DC will host a Japanese New Year celebration, as well as the annual Chinese New Year Parade in Chinatown. Here is an image I took at last year's parade:

My friend James, a DC resident, forwarded me this link from the Washington Post:
The piece features some descriptive text about the color red, about our perception of it as described by eminent scientist Jeremy Nathans, and a great set of photographs by Post photographers, exploring the color itself.
Happy Lunar New Year, and have a great Year of the Dragon!
