Broken Umbrellas of Belfast: Part 4

***

Heard the singers playin', How we cheered for more.

The crowd had rushed together, tryin' to keep warm. 

Still the rain kept pourin', fallin' on my ears.

And I wonder, still I wonder who'll stop the rain.

So, folks, it's been a while eh? 

It's been.... 5 months or so since my last entry? How disgraceful!  

Well, for anyone interested, I have been busy these past few months. This summer saw me traveling to Belgium, Sweden, and then Canada for a visit home, and even a wee trip down to New York City! I have neglected to update curious minds on my escapades, and I apologize profusely. 

But, what better way to get back in the game then update my blog with a classic! 

I have spoken to many friends who have said they quite enjoyed viewing strangely abandoned broken umbrellas in Belfast. I'm quite shocked actually.

Don't you all think that it's a rather strange obsession? I walk around town on rainy days and take random photos of broken umbrellas while people walk by thinking "Why is she taking a picture of that litter can, and that dirty awful bin liner lying on the street corner??". 

Well, if you guys like it, then fine, I will gladly continue do take pictures, it's the least I can do! 

Well, I walked around Belfast the other week, on a VERY rainy day.

Usually it rains a bit here and there, but this day was a wet one. Non-stop rain all day. 

AND low and behold... what did I find?!?!? 

CHECK IT OUT!

How is this possible?!?! I found all of these umbrellas within a 20min walk. I think that's insane. 

So there you have it folks! Broken umbrellas are still as popular as ever in Belfast, and hopefully I will be able to write on here a bit more often. Would you all like that? 

Keep Smilin' folks,
