Umbrellas of Cherbourg<\/p>\n
Definition<\/a>: “An umbrella<\/b> or parasol<\/b> is a canopy<\/a> designed to protect against rain<\/a> or sunlight. The word parasol<\/i> usually refers to an item designed to protect from the sun; umbrella<\/i> refers to a device more suited to protect from rain. Often the difference is the material; some parasols are not waterproof.<\/p>\n Umbrellas and parasols are primarily hand-held portable devices designed to shield an individual from sun or rain, and are sized for personal use. Today, larger parasols are often used as fixed or semi-fixed devices, used with patio tables<\/a> or other outdoor furniture<\/a>, or as points of shade on a sunny beach. The collapsible (or folding) and internally supported umbrella, the direct predecessor to the modern umbrella, originated in China.[2]<\/a><\/sup>[3]<\/a><\/sup> and had sliding levers similar to those in use today.[4]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n Parasols are sometimes called sunshades.<\/b> An umbrella may also be called a brolly<\/b> (UK slang<\/i>), parapluie<\/b> (nineteenth century, French origin<\/i>), rainshade<\/b>, gamp<\/b> (British, informal, dated<\/i>), bumbershoot<\/b> (American slang<\/i>).” (Wikipedia)<\/p>\n item of lightweight architecture<\/p>\n Rihanna Umbrella<\/p>\n golf umbrella<\/p>\n umbrella hat<\/p>\n patio umbrella<\/p>\n Umbrella<\/em> Corporation is one of the world’s leading biotechnology conglomerates. <\/span><\/p>\n umbrella insurance<\/p>\n Christo and Jeanne-Claude umbrella project<\/a><\/p>\n Art Under the Umbrellas<\/em> shows are one-day events located in Old Town La Quinta from 10am to 4pm on designated Saturdays, Fall thru Spring.<\/span><\/p>\n lighting umbrellas<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Post the direct URL (link) where your drawing, doodle, artwork is posted (e.g. your blog, Flickr) in the comments area of this post.
