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.

A way fit for a queen



This is the fantastic view you get when you look up the spiral staircase at Queensway tube station in London. I have never been a huge fan of lifts- I'll get in one if I really have to but if given the option I will always take the stairs. Because of this, all around London I get to see a lot of views similar to this one. As pretty as a spiralling shell but still one of the sturdiest ways to build a stair.
