Do you begin and end your day with the world framed by a window or windscreen? Maybe it’s your own or perhaps it is the fingerprint smeared one of the bus or train. Do you run? Or cycle? Do you stare ahead, focussed on the point of horizon, enjoying the sensation of the landmarks flying past you? Or do you walk? Head dead ahead. Music sounding. Telephone chattering. Daydreaming.
Have you walked or driven the same route for as long as you can remember? Have you one day, for whatever reason, looked up and seen something that surprised you? A building above a shop perhaps? A blue plaque? A piece of graffiti impossibly high up? A flag. This blog is about what you can see when you tilt your chin and see a different view of your everyday world.
Look up.
You might enjoy it.
You might see something good.

Not far from the madding crowd....
Whilst battling against shoppers, much like swimming upstream, this afternoon on Oxford Street I noticed this above one of the shops.Why I still go to Oxford Street I have no idea- It only ever drives me crazy and makes me look for the nearest escape route- but I was pretty pleased I saw this.Not sure how I'd describe it but I think it aptly mirrors the chaos of what is going on on the streets below.

Shutter Up
An interesting way of keeping the sun off the front of a cafe, these yellow shutters add a little more interest than an everyday awning.
Missing an E
Above a seemingly normal block of flats in Shoreditch sits a sign missing a vital vowel. (Unless it is really referring to Douglas Adams Meaning of Liff. Who knows?) Either way I wonder who is responsible for it and what its purpose is.
