Living in a country with a mild climate, the rain phenomenon is by far from unknown. For centuries we've used objects to shield us from it, the rain I mean, not the mild climates :) Such objects we refer to as umbrella.
You would think an umbrella is just some water resistant cloth on a stick. For centuries that may have been true (and maybe it is today still), but todays creativity leads to a wide range of interesting designs. Some are very useful, others have a big fun element.
Traditional umbrella's are good for weather conditions where mister Storm is asleep. But when he wakes up, we all know what happens...
10 years ago, I increased my umbrella assortment with an interesting piece to try and fight mister Storm. I must say, it did its job! ...and NO, it isn't me in the photo, unfortunately I do not have an action photo, and although it is raining as we speak, mister Storm decided not to show up, therefore you have to do it with this...
Other designs that caught my attention, I show you in photos below; Hope you like them...
