Umbrella ella ella ella

January 28, 2010 | Filed Under City Streets and Sidewalks 

This umbrella in the middle of a busy street was a reminder of the rainy and windy weather we had on Monday.   Throughout that stormy day, I saw lots of broken umbrellas in trash receptacles all over the city.  I don’t know how this umbrella ended up where it is but a lot of drivers tried to avoid driving over it.

    This is a great story. Makes you want to write a story about the person who lost it. Wouldn’t it be cool if it belonged to a woman who spotted her long-lost lover and in her haste to reach him, didn’t grip it tight enough, so the wind grabbed it and whipped it from her grasp. But she didn’t care …

    An interesting slight to document. I do agree with what you have blogged about.

    Have a good weekend.

    Broken umbrellas…probably lots of those yesterday! Something about this photo makes me sad though, the sight of the broken umbrella, no trash to be avoided. But I like your moment-in-time shop, Paz! :o ) Happy Weekend, my friend ((HUGS))

    ha yes, another fatality. I saw a huge pile of umbrellas the other day across from Penn Station.

    It’s useless to use an umbrella in such wind! I guess people are too idealistic and think each time they will succeed, but no.

    Happy Weekend, Paz!

    Hi M.Kate: LOL! The song is running through my head, too. ;-)

    Hi Tailwags: I LOVE that story, pictorial or otherwise. ;-)

    Hi Lily: Have a great weekend, too!

    Hi Alexander: Thanks: You, too!

    Hi Tracy: It IS kind of sad. :-(

    Hi Kitty: I can imagine the pile at Penn Station. I think we just want to think our umbrellas are invincible. ;-)

    Hi Rhonda: Yes, it’s definitely seen better days. May it rest in peace. ;-)

    Have a great weekend, all. Thanks for stopping by.

    Paz
