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.

Rocking horse


I really hope you can make out this picture, the glare of the window was doing me no favours in this shot. I've walked past this house pretty much everyday since I've lived here, on my way to and from town. Yesterday was the first time I actually looked up and noticed that propped by the window was a beautiful old rocking horse. I always wanted a rocking horse as a child. My mum actually had a real horse at the time but you know how irrational children are! I wonder if this particular one belongs to a child or just a wistful grown up.

P.S, said I'd find a horse high up next ;)
