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.

12 Thousand Souls Under The Sea



I must admit- despite being a 'Londoner' I have never been to the Tower of London before and so I've never seen this memorial right by it. It's not long after Armistice Day and maybe that's why this inscription grabbed my attention. It's funny because when you think of 'troops' you often think of those on land or in the air. It's nice that there is a remembrance here for those who fought and died on the waves, no one who fought, or indeed still fights, should ever been forgotten in my opinion.
