Brazilian Umbrellas From Above

This morning was a rainy commute; I can only hope the roads will stay dry for the ride home, even if my shoes won’t be.

Something about the drop in temperature—in the space just between a muggy morning run and my departure for work—and a longing for more summer had me in just the right mindset to catch Vanderlei Almeida’s photos on Getty Images when Delia shared one on facebook.

Brazilian photographer Almeida captured umbrellas in Rio yesterday as their temperatures plummeted, too. We’ve documented our soft spots for Brazil, Rio and umbrellas here before; these photos we perfect for my morning on so many fronts.

And check out that variety in umbrella colors and styles! (In Boston, that’s unheard of: black umbrellas or bust.) Be sure to head to Getty Images to see the rest of the set (previewed with their watermark), and other work by Vanderlei Almeida.
