This red umbrella greets visitors to the Travelers' main office in downtown Hartford.
In the second photograph, electronic images of the red umbrella amuse passengers (i.e., travelers with a small "T") at Bradley International Airport. As passengers walk past the umbrella display -- formed from little red umbrellas that look like peppers -- some of the passengers obstruct the beam of light projecting the images, causing the umbrellas to break up and reassemble in random ways.
If we didn't have flights to catch, some of us would stand there waving our arms for hours.
I would spend my time playing Shadow in that place.
ReplyDeleteThat airport display is very clever. I'd be one wanting to stand there and watch it. I love how the umbrella on the street mirrors the green roof behind it.
ReplyDeleteI find some of the Traveller's commercials to be really annoying. But I do like the giant umbrella! And I'd probably be one of those airport travellers who would wave their arms for hours. :D
ReplyDeleteNever heard about it before today.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! There's something about umbrellas that are great to photograph - bit like bicycles. Love the idea of those electronic images.
