Today I’m taking a look at this year’s Umbrella Sky Project in Elmhurt, IL!
After last year’s failed attempt to see the colorful art installation (it was raining and they were closed), I was a little worried that something would go wrong again this year. But, for the first time, we had a beautiful, sunny day to view them, and it was a very different display from the one Chickadee and I saw two years ago…this time, there was a whole rainbow of colors, plus some partially clear unbrellas that cast really cool, stained glass style shadows on the ground!
The very reflective windows doubled the umbrella fun:
Yes, I did lay down on the pathway to get a view looking straight up:
This is the perfect space for this type of art installation:
Here’s a closer look at the amazing shadows the umbrellas cast:
It’s such a joyful art project!
They’re scheduled to swap out the umbrellas for a different look partway through the summer…I wonder what colors they’ll choose next?
