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.

Glass Pyramid


You can probably tell by now that I'm a bit of a fan of looking through roofs with metal structures and quite an industrial feel. It's surprised me to be honest. Until I started this blog I didn't really give that much thought to the construction of buildings and didn't realise that I'd relish in seeing the evidence of it in my photos. This fine example of metal and glass was taken from underneath the famous and somewhat contentious (I'm still not sure I like it and it seems neither are the French) pyramids in the courtyard of the Louvre in Paris. This photo is obviously of the main pyramid and while sculptural, it also acts as a sort of epic skylight- lighting up the underground entrance chamber of this massive museum.
