These beautiful floating umbrellas are suspended mid air in a street in Agueda in South of Portugal. This lovely art installation appears to float over pedestrians, giving not just respite from the mid summer Portuguese sun but also a joyful, playful edge to the town centre.

An idea worth borrowing for Leeds perhaps…I could see it working well in somewhere like Lands Lane or even Briggate. Mind you, after our summer I think it would be rain they’d shelter us from rather than sunshine…
