It seems to make sense that I should start my blog with how I first started noticing architecture - this is from looking up. Often in narrow, crowded streets in towns you can only see shop fronts at eye level, which is a bit boring and generic. When you go to larger cities the streets are generally wider and there are more squares and open spaces so you have a better view of the building, so can appreciate it more.
This is why I think it's important to look up because that's where you see the beautiful detail in the architecture.
This is just a photo of a building on the high street, which has some elegant details if you look up, but when you walk along all you would see is the new selection of Christmas cards in Clintons (though I'm not going to pretend I don't love Christmas, even if it's still a bit early).
