Year of the Tiger

Today begins the Chinese Year of the Tiger.



I haven't been to any attractions evocative of Chinese culture in the last year or so...



But if you like Chinatowns, have two - London and Portland - in Red, Gold and Almost Gone.



And please enjoy this trip through Portland Classical Chinese Garden from 2006.


Oh, that's an Amur tiger (also called Siberian), at top, at the Columbus Zoo. As of the I shot that photo in July of 2007, the zoo said there were only 400 left. I hope they, and you, have a good year.
