Umbrella Art Installation by Ivotavares Studio

Posted by on Aug 2, 2012 in AROUND THE WORLD, ART

These candy-colored umbrellas suspended over an Águeda street are present rain or shine. Installed by an as-yet-unidentified artist portuguese design studio ivotavares, the unique canopy lends a zany feel to the cobblestone Portuguese road. Flickr photographer Patrícia Almeida recently shot these great photos and she writes “In July, in Águeda (a Portuguese town), some streets are decorated with colorful umbrellas. I felt like a kid, amazed by all that color!” She calls it Umbrella Sky.
