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.

Non-Greek Frieze



I spotted this fantastic frieze above the Covent Garden Odeon quite a while ago now and have meant to go back and take a picture for ages. I finally did the other day and noticed after a closer look that it was not as Greek as I assumed it would be -it being an Odeon and all. From what I can see it seems like more of a flappery, carnival sort of affair. Dogs in ruffs and chorus girls- always a winning combination in my book!
