The subject for CTF Challenge 71 is something we all have at home : Umbrellas.
They can be of different shapes, sizes and colors, made of plastic, paper, nylon or silk; new, old or broken, open or closed, wet or dry, as single items or in bunches, people with umbrellas, umbrellas with people, etc. etc.
The umbrella should be a major part of your composition.
However, REAL umbrellas only please - the kind that can be folded and carried around. Parasols are also ok - from the tiny ones on your tropical drink to the large ones on the beach as long they also can be folded and carried if necessary.
Please do NOT enter images of umbrella-shaped items such as: mushrooms, parachutes, hats, flowers, plants, parts of buildings, tarpaulins, sculptures, glass or metal contraptions, etc. The real thing only please.
