The umbrellas are hung level with the walk around the ramparts of Clifford's Tower so that 見解（をとる）s over the city of York are not interrupted.

'We 設立する some pictures online of streets in Europe that had been covered with 一時停止するd umbrellas and realised that the quatrefoil 形態／調整 of Clifford's Tower would lend itself to such a 陳列する，発揮する fantastically.'

Ms Wyatt 追加するd: 'The tower was used as a 蓄える／店 for gunpowder and 軍需品s in the 17th century and, on April 23, 1684, an exp losion blew off the roof and the 床に打ち倒すs, leaving just the 爆撃する that you see today, so it has been over 400 years since the tower last had any 肉親，親類d of roof covering.'

The Umbrella Sky will remain in place until Sunday October 21, 天候 permitting.
