potted plants and umbrellas

The other day I blogged about street art on a set of stairs in Amman.  Today I have a few photos that I took on a different  set of stairs.  They too were popular with locals and tourists, with small shops and a restaurant.  The difference is that this one had umbrellas.

below: There were a lot of little flower pots attached to the walls.  Some were painted in bright colours and some were terra cotta brown.
