We've had some wild winter weather hurrah over the last few days, Aimee tells me the squalls in the city were quite ferocious so it was with curiosity yesterday afternoon that I went in to take a few shots of the umbrella installation on Hay Street.. just one of the events in this year's City of Perth Winter Arts Season. There were still raindrops on the brollies but for a short while the sky cleared. Colourful umbrellas en masse are a delight to see but for added interest some architectural details from the many heritage buildings along Hay St. That's Percy Archibald Buttons in the last shot, still entertaining tourists and locals 63 years after passing away, he had a tough life did Percy! Happy Friday, take care and stay safe..
Somewhere, Mary Poppins is looking in her carpet bag, frowning, and wondering where the umbrellas went.
ReplyDeleteReally colourful and vibrant photos. Liking the creativity too. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOh how wonderful, G!
ReplyDelete...this is great, I wish that I could do a hand stand.
ReplyDeleteLove the colorful umbrella display but the story about Percy Archibald Buttons really was interesting. Have a great day. Jo
ReplyDeleteA pretty sight Grace. This type of umbrella "art" is very popular in Portugal.
ReplyDeletePercy fits right in with the umbrellas. Fabulous setting!
ReplyDeleteThe brollies are wonderful, Grace. We had a big summer downpour this morning here!
ReplyDeleteI still have the Cowsills going around in my head!
Just as well they are out of reach as there may have been some demand for them if you have had rain.
ReplyDeleteWow interesting way of decorating and so very colourful. Love the last shot, he appears to have been a very interesting man though yes it seems he had a very hard life. Good that he is still entertaining :-) Thanks for sharing these great photos, have a fab weekend Diane
ReplyDeleteVery colourful, as if Mary Poppins has visited your city and left all her umbrella's.
ReplyDeleteOh fantastic! I was hoping you would get some photos of these colorful umbrellas and you got some wonderful ones. I saw a couple of photos of these on Instagram and I thought of you immediately.
ReplyDeleteI love that first shot Grace, it is fantastic! Percy was a very interesting guy.
ReplyDeleteWhat a colorful, whimsical idea!
ReplyDeleteMary Poppins would love it! Very colorful and well done. Makes Ms. Poppin's black bumpershoot look kind of boring.
ReplyDeleteWow! Talk about eye candy! I love all your shots, and I love the sculpture in your last one, too. Rainy Seattle could take a page from this installation.
ReplyDeletewow awesome pics. Great post.
ReplyDeleteColourful and festive!
ReplyDeleteWow... I just loved it!
ReplyDeleteGreat installation and snaps.
ReplyDeleteSo colourful, great great shots, Grace !

Aw, that´s very beautiful, Grace, I love it!
ReplyDeleteDifficult to get a shot of the brollys but you managed well.
ReplyDeleteGood colours.
A great series of photos. I love the installation and the sculpture of Percy
ReplyDeleteWonderfully joyful shots!
ReplyDeleteWhat a blast this was! I too could almost stand on my head! Just kidding. My spirits are lifted with every single umbrella!
ReplyDeleteUmbrellas up, up and almost away! We've had some wild winter weather hurrah over the last few days, Aimee tells me the squalls in the city ...
