Dragons Anyone?




Did you know dragons are legends in many cultures? In China the hills of Kowloon are supposed to represent one emperor and seven dragons. In Viet Nam there's a legend that the Vietnamese people descended from the mating of a fairy and a dragon. And since the Pendragon Legacy series was about dragonshapers, I took a lot of pictures of dragons during my recent trip to Asia. I thought you all might enjoy them.

  1. Oh, yes, I knew this. I love reading worldwide mythology and also the scientific basis for it. It's not coincidence there are a lot of great dinosaur digs in China.

  2. As a dragon fan(atic) I love the pics you took. Would love to own the real things to go with our 100+ dragons around the house :D

  3. I've been watching a few Michael Palin BBC travel series where he has wandered about different regions/countries in Asia, and I pause the show from time to time to get a look at the artwork. I love all the bright colors!
