A Giant Tethered Dragon Made of Flowers Roars to Life at the Annual Bloemencorso Zundert 2016

Over the weekend of September 4, an amazing assortment of magnificent flower-covered sculptures and floats made their colorful appearance at the 2016 Bloemencorso Zundert (“flower parade in Zundert, Netherlands“). The winning float, entitled “Dangerous Transportation“, particularly captured onlookers imagination when a massive, spiny dragon who was tethered down suddenly roared to life, straining at its shackles and letting off some steam before going back to sleep.
