Raining Business

Whenever it is about to rain, the umbrellas sellers, mostly are the pakistanis, are already out on the streets with umbrellas in their hands, ready to do business.

Eeven when it is already raining heavily, they will still walking streets to streets, trying to sell the umbrellas.

Snow Umbrellas

Winter is white and pale, especially when it snows, and people carry umbrellas to walk under the snow...

Besides the obvious purpose of umbrellas, they also added color to the winter scene....

Scenes Of A Raining Day

Standing in the center of piazza Castello, the rain came unexpectedly, most of the people were caught off guard.....

 

but not these umbrellas sellers, who seemed to be well informed of the arrival of rain, they always appeared before the rain with arms full of umbrellas, standing by the street or in the piazza, getting ready to offer to sell their umbrellas to people who had not a single clue that the rain was coming.

This was in May, since the 'promised' storm didn't arrived yesterday, the temperature remains hot, so hope this post can bring some sense of 'cooling' effect for the day.

Winter Rain

These few days Italy is hit by long lasting rain, it just keeps raining and raining, although in Piedmont it isn't as serious and damaging as in other regions, such as Liguria and Toscany, but is annoying and frustrating.....

Duel Under The Umbrellas

This photo was one of my considered choices for the CDP February theme : Umbrellas, but it didn't make the cut.
It was a raining day and I was walking along Via Garibaldi trying to snap some photos for the umbrellas theme, I saw this group of people waiting the traffic light to turn for them to cross the street, the way these two guys standing almost facing each others somehow made me imagine two gunmen having a duel in the far west, only here they have the umbrellas.

Another Set Of Umbrellas

Another set of photos with the theme of umbrellas, but since I was told we can only submit one post for the CDP monthly theme day, so  I will not link this post to the February Theme Day - Umbrellas. 

An interesting way to protect the postcards on sale of a local shop at Via Garibaldi.
