A rainy day in Rome: In this crowd
at the foot of the Spanish Steps, taking
photos of each other and Bernini's Fontana
della Barcaccia in the Piazza di Spagna, I
count nine pinwheel-design umbrellas.
Do you suppose they were all
staying at the same hotel?
Or just prior to this their tour included a morning of sunbathing.
ReplyDeleteThis photo of yours leaves me bewildered. Since 1960 my preconception of Rome, fountains, and people in the vicinity ran to no more than two colors: B&W.
Colorful! I really should buy a bright pink umbrella. They're so pretty on a rainy day. The one I have is a Monet-esque Paris monument one I bought in Paris when caught in a storm there.
ReplyDeleteLovely, Alexa! Almost the opposite of the day I went there, when it was a sea of black. {Though some time ago, it was more recently than 1960...}
ReplyDeleteI quite like the sound of Bibi's brolly!
Oh I thought of the same but changed ...
ReplyDeleteLooks very wet :)
An umbrella is a great invention. Good shot of all the umbrellas.
ReplyDeleteTG -- Thanks to FeFe, I half expected Rome to be in b&w the first time I went there!
ReplyDeleteBibi -- I have a Monet umbrella too!
I'm really enjoying abc wednesday—love seeing what other bloggers come up with.
maybe they were selling them on the street that day?
ReplyDeleteperfect U post for this weather we've been having.
My umbrella got a nice work out in Paris on Monday! No sun in SoCal, but no rain either.
ReplyDeleteClever shot!
