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.

Sexxxy



Amsterdam isn't all about pink lit windows and scantily clad prostitutes. The stoic sign above stating 'no sex' is a reminder that the red light district is, generally, kept to its own specific area and that not every window is up for sale. The second sign made me laugh purely because of its lack of tact and humorous name. Whilst out in the evening in this part of the town (the red light district literally seconds round the corner) I noticed whole gangs of drunk blokes pissing on pretty much anything that didn't move. Quite gross really. It seems a sign for the local 'urinoir' is probably quite relevant round these parts.
