This shot is from Millennium Park, Chicago – the umbrellas belongs to the Park Grill’s patio, one of my favorite waterholes in Chicago.
The photo is taken with me standing by the “Cloud Gate” sculpture looking down to the restaurants patio. The colors was so intense and the view made me so happy, but it was a very difficult photo to take. It was the day the wind returned to Chicago after 7 days of standing still heat.

my umbrella is big enough for two.”

A very common scene here in Vancouver too lol 😉
Yes, I think in most cities during the warm and sunny months.
I’d gladly have some warm sunny months right now and be done with my jacket :S
Yes, what i understan you had a hard winter … or was that only Toronto ????? Ours has just started – have really chilly day today. And it has come a little snow … nothing stays.
Toronto got hit really hard with that vortex, it was so bad that they said that even the north pole doesn’t get as bad as -55 :O
That is COoOOooold. They had -39C up in the North of Sweden last night – that is cold – we have got winter down here in the South today and 48 hours warning is out, but not so cold .. more snow warning. So defrost of freezer tonight. *smile
Yipes!! how do you stay warm at all in weather like this?
I love the colors. And the sharing of shelter from the sun. Or the rain. 😉
Yes, the colors was making me so happy and there was so many of them .. sending so close too.
I use umbrellas very little when it rains – because the wind always catch them and turns them – also I find people with umbrellas very “ignorant” and dangerous – because they don’t have clue how they walk with their umbrella … and don’t seem to care if they stick the umbrellas in other people faces – just hate umbrellas in
Ah! I seldom use an umbrella. I prefer my rain coat with pull over hood. I won’t poke you in the face wtih an umbrella! 😉
I’m the same … and after living on Ireland, you never now when the rain arrives – so you had to live with the rain and without umbrella – plus rain water is good for the hair, makes it silky soft. My grandma always collected rainwater to rinse her hair with.
I’ve heard of many people who save the rain water for their hair washings! 🙂
It works!! *smile
🙂 I’ve done it too. Well, once. But it was awesome.
You are doing well in this Viveka…
Thanks, Rob … got some nice comment over at “Capture Yours 365” too – I love the colors, a pity I wasn’t aware that I had a wide-angle mode on my camera at that time, because then I would have got a lot more umbrellas in the picture. Only had the camera for 4 years then, typical me – never read any manuals.
Love!
Thanks, Heather. *smile
Thank you so much, Heather.
Is the grill any good? I’ve always ignored that place.
Bebs, I have only been sitting on their patio … food is okay – always had their fish taco’s … very good, but you get plastic glasses.
I love this song! Umbrellas- now I should have lots of shots of those 🙂
The colours are beautiful, Vivi. Everything settled again since your hospital visit on Monday? Big hug 🙂
It’s our son’s birthday today and I’m waiting for his return tonight. Lasagne and chocolate cake at the ready!
Tuesday was my rinse out day .. at the day clinic – cleaning out the button where I got my chemo. Nothing else, so it’s was painless – but I had a severe bladder infection too. My week has been really bad otherwise, so feed up with things just now.
I hope your son had a great birthday – I’m sure he had. Sunday hugs.
I’m sure you have loads of photos with umbrellas *smile
Love the song too, but no version with Rhianna to be find on Soundcloud, I think this is a great version.
Perfect for the challenge and so very colorful.
It’s a happy photo … only wish I knew then that my little camera had wide angle mode – because then I could have got all the umbrellas in the photo – I know I have it now.
Thanks, Karen.
