Umbrellas

Surprise.... it was raining again in London today. I liked these colourful umbrellas - someone at work commented to me how everyone wears black in winter and as I looked down the street it really was a sea of black with this island of colour. It's been a long day today - a struggle to work on the knackered London transport system; a full day in the office; and a Governors meeting at school to meet the new headteacher. In case I can't upload while PBase is being upgraded, have a good weekend everyone.

NB: I haven't tried the builder's breakfast advertised on the board, bottom left!!

Nice shot - great feeling of 'hurry, hurry, hurry' about it

I like this shot, have always wanted to try a shot like this, well done.

hahah, when does it never ran there? I remember one year when I went to visit my grandmother, it rained 8 of the 10 days I was there or something crazy like that, but you know, I'd still love to be there! If I had a choice, I'd live there.

The motion effect works very well here! nice colors!

Gail this is really good with the blur of motion.
Makes me feel the hustle and bustle of people trying to get in out of the rain.

Wonderful feeling of movement you've captured :)

No need for umbrellas up North today :)
Like the colour, but it does redmind me why I don't want to work in London (We did live in Paddington at one time.... best wishes if we never meet again (upgrades and all that!)

I love the colours in this - the mauve umbrella almost pops off the page. Beautiful capture.

People comes and go, i like this movement. Bravo Gail!

Great minds think alike ... I was going to do an umbrella shot today, too (after getting drenched mid-afternoon), but it did not work out nearly as well as yours. I love the shocking pink!
