Chinese Temple Gods Go Walk-About!

On the way home yesterday (after attending the Strongman contest), I was caught in a long traffic jam.

It was caused by a long procession of chinese-looking temple gods and shrines.

I didn't know what the occasion was, but was happy enough for the photographic opportunity (although only from inside the car as I drove past).

It was properly organised; with police escorts, ambulance in attendance, and a truck serving bottled water. Was the half-dressed guy a priest?

There was even a dragon on a truck! I couldn't get to the front of the procession before they turned left at The Secretariat Building; I believed they went to the Peak Nam Tong Temple (Posting of 28 May 2010).

I found out today that the occasion was officially "The Gods went for a Walk-About in The City".
