Flickr photographerPatrcia Almeidarecently shot these great photos of a wonderfully whimsical umbrellaart installationin Portugal. Like something out of a fairy tale, the umbrellas look almost like they're magically floating in mid-air. As she writes, “In July, in gueda (a Portuguese town), some streets are decorated with colorful umbrellas. I felt like a kid, amazed by all that color!” She calls itUmbrella Sky.
Love this kind of outdoor art. Bonus points that it provides nice shade for those strolling along the street.
Update:According to theDaily Mail, this installation is an initiative by the council in Agueda, Portugal and is a part of an art festival called Agitagueda.
