Following

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.

Manufactory mosaic



I saw this beautiful mosaicked (sp?) sign whilst frantically lost somewhere between Russell Square and Oxford Street. The notion of just walking in a straight line till you hit a tube stop is not always effective! Anyway, I loved the colours in this old school sign and I'm loving the word 'manufactory'. Whoever lives in this block of flats will have a great way of giving directions to their house...'the one with the big, green, mosaic thing!' There is also a smaller sign above the door which is slightly obscured by a lesser attractive one. All I can read in 'electrical' but I'm not sure that's all of it. Think I'll have to go back for another look later on...
