Under My Umbrella


Crossing a busy intersection can be tricky. Especially with hundreds of umbrellas.

  1. Wow! This is so sharp to have been taken at night. Were you hand-holding it? - When I see this photo I realize how sheltered of a life I have lived. I cannot believe that a crosswalk for pedestrians is this wide! Ours are at most 5 to 10 feet wide, and I thought that was pretty generous!

  2. And especially when you're taller than many carrying the umbrellas! I'm expecting to be poked in the eye any day... :-D

  7. Lol, it's raining here too, and monster traffic jams due to strikes in public transport and the rain... I really like the feel of this photo though it makes me want to go straight to the countryside!!!

  8. That looks very busy, and full of life! We would almost never get rain this time of year, it would be snow.

  10. We would just never have this issue here (it never rains)! :) Good street scene, it's so busy. We don't have this either. Our streets are pretty empty at dark.

  11. If I could I would stop the rain and bring some warming sunshine; but not much chance of that happening.

    Rihanna, yes; but being an old fart I also think of the Hollies.

  17. Great photo! Nice nightime lighting.
    Once we were up in a taller building in Shabuya eating lunch. It was raining and all we could see was an ocean of umbrellas crossing the street. I took a photo, but it didn't turn out very well.
