It’s the rainy season now in Thailand and there is one thing I have always wondered…
When walking down the road with an umbrella who has the right of way?
Is the taller person supposed to go up and the small person supposed to hunch down? But if everyone is the same height who goes where!?
Stunning picture!
Thanks!! 🙂

In response to your musing about umbrella etiquette –
Where practical, taller goes over shorter unless overhead power lines come into play. In that case, it’s pretty much don’t do anything stupid. Shorter should try to go under taller unless this would force “shorter” into an awkward or apparently compromising position. In that case, get your camera ready for some really interesting shots. In cases of equal heights, it becomes an exercise in size and shape of respective umbrellas. If you are alert, the partial “collapse” of your umbrella, thereby shrinking its width can allow you to pass with only a minor amount of collateral water damage. If all else fails, tip your umbrella slightly forward so as to make it appear that you cannot see the oncoming umbrella. This position serves as a sort of an attacking shield. The intimidation factor is present and even if you do make contact, this position allow you to “slide by” with only a glancing blow.
Hope this has been helpful and informative.
This is fantastic!! 🙂
