Riot of Brollies... by shepherdmanswife

Riot of Brollies...

We went to London on Friday afternoon to spend the weekend with my son and his girlfriend who live there.
I've now got some catching up to do! We went to Borough Market and just past there we found a small lane and spotted these colourful umbrellas hanging from a framework above a pub's table and chairs. It looked amazing. I don't think you would stay dry under them, but they did provide shade.

If you look to the left side of the door which was at bedroom height, with no access staircase, there is a doorbell! Who uses that then????? Mary Poppins I guess!

@taz_o Go past the main entrance to Borough market to the left side. A short way past is what looks like a narrow lane on the left which is in fact a pub/cafe outside table and chairs area. It was closed and cold when we were there, but the brollies look permanent and really provided lots of colour to a gloomy space.
January 13th, 2014  
superb colors,POV and composition! love this!

I never thought that a collection of brollys would put me in mind of summer - great find and cool shot.
