Great shot – the umbrella look wrong..?
not every umbrella is perfect – we have to feature it with the royal attitude of ignorance
who is the stronger one……………………………..
the rain or we? the male or female? the one with open umbrella or the one with the closed? the tough on the street or the safe curse on the boardwalk? God will decide the challenge …
he surely will Frizz. we need challenges in order to not become weak in Christ
I loved the ‘bicycles around the world’ post! thanks for the link and the smiles! Z
hi Lisa,
my favorite there the FINAL RIDE of the chickens in Shanghai:

So very true! That is a great shot, and it reminds me how I am often tempted to help the chickens escape! z
Neat shot Frizz! The umbrella does look weird
I also had a rainy picture this week. Rainy combined with some guitar playing.

thanks for
“Some people get wet
others feel the rain”
Great shot, love how the umbrella is feeling a little under the weather! G
of course you in Spain do not have to suffer very often under pouring rain – like me in Amsterdam, it was raining cats and dogs in that moment!
P.S.:
I like your dry streets in Cordoba during the guitar and flamenco festival there!

Amsterdam sounds a interesting city.

This combination is unusual…but lovely!
because you just visited in Finland Aalto architecture:
if we meet: nearby is an Aalto theatre!

Looks like those umbrellas are not working.
hi Eliz,
you know, you can’t always get what you want –
as once said by the great philosopher Mick Jagger
It’s almost impossible to ride a bike and carry an open umbrella… They need raincoats and then they’ll get all the SATISFACTION they deserve. I bet Mick will agree.
not impossible, dear Eliz, remember the fellows in Calcutta during pouring monsoon rain:

But they are posing, not biking.
this sort of macho men are posing continously, Eliz – that’s what the feminist agitator Rita Banerji in India is permanently criticizing
hey! wow, its a nice click
awesome Frizz, I hope you are doing well, I love that for two years we blog together…lets just keep on blogging.
A very good one. When I bike in the rain, I never attempt an umbrella. Very deft, indeed!
Wonderfull shot ! I love to go under the rain with my bike and my motorbike….
It is definitely harder than it looks!
Love it! So classic!

What a multi-tasker he is, and he’s doing it all to music! He looks quite relaxed!
humorous – but – perfect ….
lol, cycling and biking at the same time. Not every day we can see that.
My share is about Indonesian cloth Batik. Hope you have a time to read it.
Great one!
Bicycles are a way of life for many people.
Great photo!
Great photo. Love the broken umbrella
