Mike,
A treat to have you back! This is great architecture and the two figures, almost lost in the otherwise empty church are in a small bubble of private space just for themselves
....but where is it?

Well, one of them have appeared else where in OPF, but for another topic, I think it does "speak" well for a no word request ; )

Michael,
I am thrilled to see this capture of what must have been a fleeting moment. amazing that your camera was ready to get the figure in the distance waving to the passing cyclist.
On reflection, you could have also framed well with the cyclist entering the picture on the left. Somehow, this version above shows that the statue is not only greeting him, "Hello!" but also "Bis zum nächsten Mal"

For sure, James, I have no idea how the tree came to be growing such large umbrellas! Remarkable that the women are oblivious!
You're not the type of fellow to manipulate us and paste umbrellas in trees, so I guess the wind blew them there or someone has a great sense of humor and artistry!
...or perhaps, just one umbrella was wind-borne and you captured a sequence and overlaid the separate frames?

Antonio,
A surprising picture of a rather infamous enemy! This is, unfortunately, hardly my first view of this widely found plant. In English this is a nettle. This was the constant downside risk of my childhood searches in overgrown areas for wild berries - I felt the effects before I saw what stung me!
There are many Spanish references to it's use as a medicine! It's also popular among the English Speaking folk too. No less than WebMD has an article on its medicinal uses!

Asher, I believe it is an art piece (the umbrellas are actually red) called the 'Rainblossom' Project.

Did you surmise that - then go on to do one of your famous "Sherlock-Holmes-quality" Goggle searches to hunt it down?

Yes! LOL., you know me well. ha!
I thought it might be.. did a Google search for umbrellas in trees art project and there it was #1! As soon as I saw the site, I recognized the tree as being one of the trees in the project. This is the second year they do it. Pretty cool, if you ask me.

Hello Asher, Maggie
Good investigative work Maggie. Now you and Asher know all about it. I thought it was just more stunts from the students at the University
Best, regards
