Tonight I have been watching the U20 Track and Field Championship from Nairobi and have not been thinking about what to post.

However, while looking for something else I ran across a picture I used from a trip to Hangzhou, China that I took almost five years ago.

I then remembered a post that I wrote back in 2018, so I am sharing it here.

Here are Umbrellas on a Sunny Day.

A colleague and I had been in Shanghai working with a new product and on our last day took the train to Hangzhou to visit West Lake.

It was a very hot and sunny day and there were a lot of people walking around with umbrellas.

I always like taking pictures of people with umbrellas, so I ended up with many opportunities.

I really like this umbrella. It has a beautiful pattern and the color goes well with the dress that the lady is wearing.

I also took quite a few pictures of sculptures. Perhaps someday I will also share some of them.

This couple is enjoying the view of the water lilies that are growing in West Lake while getting shade from another beautiful umbrella.

You can see a lot of colorful umbrellas in this picture. I really like the smiling panda face on the blue umbrella.

We had to be careful of the umbrellas while we were walking. Not something you usually think about on a sunny day.

It didn’t take me long to share another sculpture picture 🙂

I think that this lady is not using her umbrella for the sun. You can see that it is a bit windy and cold and it is probably raining hard in the sculptors imagination of this scene.

I hope you enjoyed these umbrella pictures.
