Carnival

Dragons

Prince Charles Quay opening event Cardigan.

All over the world dragons appear at carnivals, streets, markets, festivals and caves

This one appeared on the river Tiefi at Cardigan with smoking nostrils and illuminated eyes

Because of the very strong wind his wings were tucked away but he got a rapturous welcome from the crowd on the bank and the flotilla of boats too.

A stag leapt from the boat to join other Celtic animals on the quay and take part in the game "DIASPORA" - the traveling game for those who wander between worlds..... I, Gwrhyr Gwastlawd Ieithoedd - Gwrhyr the master of tongues, who speaks to all beings in any world, will instruct you in the rules. The Avatar has to guess 4 questions before moving down river to consult the oldest and wisest animal the salmon

This dragon is outboard motor powered and is sitting on Matt Newlands beautiful 20ft boat

His neck pivots to lower his head which remains level
