So, there we go. Three months, 48 photos, and what have we learned?

Well, that there is some interesting stuff to look at if you just raise your gaze. And that I seem to have a slightly unhealthy interest in trains (blame 20 years of knowing @tallnohair and 20 months of knowing @commutr).

All the photos (bar the one with the chap with the iPad) were taken on my HTC phone, so they're all a bit cruddy. The only one I wish I had taken with a proper camera, though, is the one of kite flying on the Isle of Wight.

Anyway, a nice little journal of my 40th summer. You can follow my musings as I approach my 40th Birthday at 41-4-40. Thanks to co-father-to-be James Duncan for the slightly drunken dinner conversation that led to this project happening in the first place, and to @ferrar, @commutr and @_francois for taking part too.

A bit of a project for the summer months. I've often noticed that we miss fascinating bits of architecture, strange historical artifacts, and other wonderful things in our day to day life because we rarely look up above the horizontal.

So in the next couple of months I am going to try to take a few moments out every day to spot things that I haven't noticed before. Photos will be posted to Twitter, hash-tagged #summerlookup. Feel free to join me!
