Taiwan - National Kaohsiung Center for the Performing Arts, Umbrella Bicycle

Getting closer, it's easy to see how the bold curves and shapes guide the visitor into the interior (that's my family in the background making their way in).  But the reason I took the picture in the first place is the guy on the bicycle holding an umbrella.  It was hot and sunny on a mid-May day, and lots of folks use them to shade from the sun in Taiwan (side note: the Spanish word for umbrella, parasol, literally means "for the sun"), but not too many I've seen while riding a bicycle.  And to top it off, he has a girl - presumably his daughter - on the front.  The are both wearing masks, and it appears she is holding the umbrella.  See below for extremely cropped-in shot:
