{Art} Highlight: Umbrellas installation in Portugal

August 14, 2012

Rain is often associated with gloomy, dark days.

But these umbrellas in the town of Águeda in Portugal make me think of days beyond those dark clouds.  I’m reminded of the rainbow in a faraway patch of clouds or the intense blue of a bright sky breaking away from the clouds on a perfect spring day.

Patricia Almeida photographed this cheery installation and it makes me long for a colorful canopy as well.

I hope you find something unexpected and bright in your neighborhood!

    I forget when I first saw these a few years ago (maybe not Portugal) but the image stayed with me.

    I don’t usually like umbrellas because I hate rain but these? They definitely provide an uplifting feeling.

    That is so cool! I think more places need a cheery umbrella covered walkway.
