I saw this pic in The Star recently - a dragon made from dozens of pineapples for the Year of the Dragon! Very creative, I must say.
The pineapple has long been associated with good luck and prosperity in Chinese culture. The Hokkiens call it "ong lai" which loosely translated means "Good luck and prosperity - come!", hence it is an integral part of Chinese celebrations and ceremonies. It is also an important offering for deities' birthdays.
Well, whoever created this dragon, it looks like good fortune is coming his way!
