I had a brief 24 hours in Melbourne, so spent much of the time tearing around the city. After dumping my bags I walked down to the markets to see if my handpainted stocking lady was there to replenish my supplies (she was, yay!).
As I rounded the corner, I was met with a sea of rainbow umbrellas in Hosier Lane.
Even as a spectator, this seemed like a magical event.
It summed up (and set the tone) for my much needed break and luxurious trip (of time and for me to nourish my soul in art and indulgence).
A later google discovered this as the purpose. I realise Humans in Melbourne is probably I page I need to follow before my next trip. This is the mural they mention in the post.
Good timing to catch that display.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great photo #MySundaySnapshot

ReplyDeleteLovely sea of rainbow umbrellas!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to immerse yourself in the city Lydia! Love the colour and the whole concept. Visiting from Denyse's new Wednesday linkup.
ReplyDeleteWhat a bright, happy photo Lydia. The rainbow of umbrellas would have been a beautiful sight. #WWP
ReplyDeleteOh I love all that colour Lydia - it reminds me of the pictures of that street in Portugal (?) that has them all suspended from above. BTW you'll have to share some pics of your painted stockings - they sound amazing.
ReplyDeleteIt's very colorful
ReplyDeleteWhat fortunate timing! Those colorful umbrellas made me smile too.
ReplyDeleteHi Lydia - that looks gorgeous! What a lovely uplifting idea. I'm envious of your trip to Melbourne even if it were brief. I adore Melbourne. Hopefully I'll get back there again one day soon!
ReplyDeleteWow! That really looks lovely! A nice idea.
