Theme Day: Umbrellas

I can't say whether people are suffering with flu or overcome 

by boredom. Here is downtown Indy at about 5 p.m.

Wednesday afternoon, gray and bleak - and that's the people!

The day started with temperatures in the mid-50s 

and a few patches of sun. Over the afternoon, the weather

became colder, complete with the depressing drizzle

you can see above.

The woman in the green coat has just arrived at the bus stop 

after a hard day fielding calls made to the mayor's office 

by disgruntled citizens. She's tired.

It's my friend Joyce, with whom I've commuted

on the bus for nearly 15 years. She always has an

interesting story to tell. Riding home in the evenings means

she gets to be with her daughter and friends -

a bit of peace at the end of a stressful day.

The monthly theme for City Daily Photo participants is Umbrellas. 

To see their interpretations, click on the link just above.

Take a tour of the pictures, and explore the world through the

eyes of people who live in the many cities represented.

And, like Joyce, may a smile be your umbrella.

I couldn't pass up the chance to use that.*Snicker*
