This impressive mural of a pig made from different coloured umbrellas amazed onlookers today.

The portrait was built from hand-painted paper sun shades at the Bo Sang umbrella festival in Chiang Mai province, northern Thailand.

The annual event has been held for almost four decades and celebrates the ancient umbrella making tradition from the village.

Locals began making them centuries ago when a Buddhist monk from the area travelled to neighbouring Burma, returning to his home with the newly learned umbrella making technique. 

Each year, villagers celebrate their tradition by lining the streets with bright, intricately decorated umbrellas.
