The first that came to mind after reading the new theme ‘look up’, was to search in my photo-albums for some pictures I took during vacations. I’ve always loved to potograph buildings, mountains, streets, objects (let’s say scenery) from a low perspective (or do I need to say from a lower point of view...?)
I found some really wonderful graphic images that could be used. Is this one of the right directions to take, is it looking up or upwards?
I found this (looked it up, yeah!) in one of my English dictionaries (much the same as Janet already explained, but I always love those text bits from dictionaries...

Oh yes! I think those are perfect examples of how to interpret the theme! My initial thoughts have been along much the same lines.
ReplyDeleteYour dictionary meanings are fun - if one was so inclined, they could use them as the quilt - stamped, transferred, quilted...
Thanks for the dictionary definitions and examples and I also like what you're doing with your photos, looking for 'looking up' perspectives.
ReplyDeleteYes, I wish I was more adventurous with my photos. I suppose this is a perfect opportunity.
