‘Look up’ and see the cloudscape in the sky, take-in the changing vista, let your eyes and spirit rise up, almost certainly the exact sky-scape you see now will never be exactly replicated and may not have been witnessed by anyone else. Can make a science of it – Google ‘cloud’ and see photos of all the different types and/or join the Cloud Appreciation Soc. Personalise the sky-scape, ‘my favourite is …’ (cumulus mediocris, as it happens – see picture), ‘the one I hate is … (ten tenths stratus as it happens – genuinely depressing).
‘Look up’ at buildings and in the street-scape – variety of roof-lines, roofing materials, chimney stacks and pots and media-reception gadgetry.
‘Look up’ into the canopy of mature trees and begin to see the community living-out there each day.
‘Look up’ and (where possible) take-in the landscape, its shape, its colours and features therein such as houses and settlements, farms, fields and field boundaries, industries, coastlines, quarries, woodlands, transport routes and sources of power (eg high-tension power lines, wind turbines or solar panels). Identify/describe and then start to analyse.
‘Look up’ to those that respect you and not to those that don’t.
‘Look up’ to find out about stuff – the internet is a resource that would have seemed futuristic fiction 50 years ago, this while keeping an independent mind re the reliability of the evidence.
‘Look up’ – face-up – looking back I wish I had.
