Steeled Against The Rain

The February theme for those of us photo bloggers in the City Daily Photo community is "Umbrellas" and I was on the hunt for a good shot. It is hard taking pics in the rain when you are balancing your own umbrella so instead I present this steel woman which I spotted in a downtown gallery. She looks ready for any downpour that  happens. And I love her shadow!

    It's been a gray summer around here, it's rainning now, a yellow umbrella would brighten the day! ;-)

    Great shot! And I too like the shadow. In the middle of winter it seems umbrellas are too much with us.

    Nicely done, Pat. Sorry it's still raining in your area. But that might be better than snow?

    You've very clever! "Steeled against the rain"! Excellent!

    It is a most interesting photo and stands out among many other fine umbrellas today.

    Very clever, RedPat. I should have been expecting an artistic interpretation from you.

    Well captured. Why stand in the rain when you can be in a comfortable gallery. Smart thinking.
