Sunblock

The photo in
Tuesday's post was taken on the roof of the City Museum. It has large open areas and the sun is brutal on Midwestern summer days. In response, the museum put up a couple of these giant umbrella or parachute-shaped things to provide some shade. They are startling, a bizarre sight when you go there for the first time. But then most of the City Museum is startling and bizarre. That's the concept.

It is startling, but I really like brattcat's vision of a jellyfish. That somehow seems to fit.

I'd hate to run into the spider that made this web.
