The Rain...

...in Spain stays mainly in the plain!



I was struck by this image today. It reminded me of the above lyric from the movie "My Fair Lady". I watched it a few weeks ago, and I thought it was funny that the photo is of an umbrella installation in Alicante, Spain!

Yes, I am still obsessed with public art.

This example in particular has some special qualities. The way the light comes through the umbrellas, making the street below glow...


And how the canopy of umbrellas almost creates a ceiling to the street, appealing to one's caving instinct...


And how the shadows create geometric shapes on the pavement...
