Lost and Found: The Umbrella Image!
Remember how we loved it and couldn’t find it?
Well, I found it. Free. Online. Here.
{Installation by Spain by Ingo Maurer, photograph by Jesús Manuel Nieto Bobadilla.}
I originally wanted it HUGE, but the biggest I could get this free image was 11″x14″ without compromising the quality. You are free to download my edited version of the image here {or by clicking on the image below}. I have framed and matted it and will be hanging it in the baby room. I LOVE this picture.


































Let me know you stopped by »
Such a great shot. Amazing that someone went to all that trouble and then is giving the photo away for free!
Great photo! Will you show us a picture once its hung. Please!
man, how great would that look blown up on a huge canvas, though? can’t wait to see the final nursery! :)
I love it! Perfect for a nursery since it reminds me of Mary Poppins.

I am printing this out right now…planning on hanging it in my office…but the nursery is a great idea too!
And yes, please show a picture once you hang it…I would love to see how you end up framing it!

Oh my gosh!! This is PERFECT for a room I’m working on!! Thank you a million times!!

so pretty! You have a lovely blog :)
Thanks so much for sharing the wonderful umbrella photograph. This is my first visit to your blog and I’m looking forward to coming back.
Do you know who the photographer is? She/he deserves to be credited.
delicious photo!
@Rex – Great point… I got this image from a stock site, and I *think* this is the photographer… I’ll update my post. Thanks!

I love this photo, great job editing it!
OK bare with me….
I have this amazing antique frame I practically stole from an old lady at a garage sale (that doesn’t sound right… haha) but it was beat up and chipped and she gave it to me for like nothing… she said it was her mom’s and been passed down and she did not take care of it (i love a story)… so I took it home, refurbed it, and its amazing! BUT I have been searching for months… months I tell you for the perfect photo. And a LONG story short this is it! its perfect. The colors, everything. My question is, and this is where you can laugh at me… do you have it in a horizontal or larger file so I can crop it horizontal… I dont want it to be lost in miles of mat board.
Help! :)
@Jenny – what a great find! {Hope the old lady is okay ;) }
Sadly, I don’t have it any larger. Getting it at 11×14 was even a bit of a stretch. I wish I could blow this up HUGE, but so far this is the biggest I could make it…
Maybe you could take it to your local photo store and see if they can blow it up a little and put a soft focus on it or something and MAYBE get a couple more inches out of it…
Good luck!
What a beautiful photo. When you print it out, are using photo paper? I haven’t done this before, but love, love, love the umbrellas!
Hi Brooke,
I just found your blog via Little Green Notebook and her post of your Umbrella picture here. I have liked this picture since the first time I saw it. Thank you so much for giving us a free download here.
I was poking around your blog a little bit and I like your opinion on the Do’s and Don’ts of blogging. Very well put.
Such a great find. It’s just so…hopeful, somehow.
Thank you for sharing, its amazing.
[...] The only word I remember is “poulet” (chicken). Take a gander at this print I found over at Oh Brooke. Purely Frenchy [...]
More than a photograph, it is an art installation in Alicante, Spain, I’ll research the artist’s name. You named the photographer by not the artist of the installation piece. My son is a commercial photographer, received his masters in fine art from Parson’s in Paris and he was familiar with this work.

OK, the installation artist who created the umbrella hanging in Spain is named Ingo Maurer, he is famous for his work and should be given proper credit for it – not the photographer. BTW: if anyone would like to see additional work of Ingo’s + other installation artists who do similar work go to
http://www.crookedbrains.net
and look under “Umbrella Installations.”
Just wanted to help.
Marsha
@Marsha – thank you! {and your son}… I’ve updated the post to give proper credit!
Boy, it has been a lot of work chasing this down!
WOW!! I LOVE THIS PHOTO!!! Thank you so much for finding it and sharing it with us all! :D I’m printing and framing ASAP! You’ve made my day :)

I DIE! I am obsessed with umbrellas! What a great shot!
I love this picture. Such a great shot.
[...] Brooke posted this image today that she found and edited online. I immediately fell in love, just as she did. She’s even blowing this up to put in your soon-to-be-born-newborns room! You can download it over at her site. [...]
I LOVE this image!
Oh what a lovely choice for a baby’s room – this image is absolutely dreamy!
I absolutely love the photo – especially with “your” colours!
However, the 11×14 doesn’t fit the frames you can buy here in Denmark, so I was wondering if you could possibly upload the original photo with your colouralterations?

LOVE IT!!!
