We welcome our guest host this week, James of JazziBee blog. He wants us to look both up and down to find interesting things…and indeed that is something at least I should do more often! So many times I have rushed ahead missing out on things above or on the ground – and many times behind me.

Walking in forests are rewarding, and even more so if you remember to look both up and down. It is not easy to see anything if you look sideways in a dense forest, but the Amazon canopy and forest floor are amazing. Not many plants grow in the faint light on the forest floor, but there are tiny mushrooms and ants for example. Lizards and frogs can be found on tiny leaves there too.

Swedish autumn usually displays a colourful canopy and looking down the water reflection and the fallen leaves make for a golden treasure.

Happy Danish skies! During a kite festival you have to look up – and I guess you cannot miss out on that!

Then look down when the party is over… inflated kites look quite awesome too. The very size of them is impressive.

Finally some structures and buildings that I found really interesting to look both up and down from, from the inside as well as the outside! A fascinating Kew Gardens installation (do you see the two feet in the first one?)

And Seattle’s Space Needle. Very special both of them, and in the last image, I could look down on the girl who was looking up, and at the same time see all the way to the ground as well.

Many thanks to Anne of Slow Shutter Speed for hosting last week’s challenge ‘Fill the Frame’ – thanks also to all of you who sent in such a marvellous range of frame-filling responses. Next week’s challenge will be set by Patti, so please look in on her Pilotfish blog for inspiration.
