Things are Looking Up, Reflections on Week 12 of 52

Here is the description for this week’s theme:

Other than a slight sense of vertigo, 'looking up' can be a positive experience. This week we can choose something tall, or at least medium height, aim our lenses up, and snap a shot. Does it make you feel good to see how truly majestic those things are that reach to the heavens above, or does it make you feel small and insignificant? Either way, I'm looking forward to some beautiful and uplifting shots this week.

So, what are some tall things in Windsor – Essex? The answer, according to the #52weeksofWE challengers, is flag poles, Caesars Windsor, fountain statues, churches, the Ambassador Bridge, the University of Windsor’s “rocketship,” the masts of tall ships (my personal favourite), and wind generating windmills out in the county. Great shots this week.

Was I the only one that was wandering around with his or her camera, looking up to get a great shot, and tripping over curbs and walking into traffic? When I was looking up around the Scotiabank on Ouelette and Park in downtown Windsor, I happened to see myself staring back. I decided that this was a nice opportunity to do something a little unique with the Looking Up theme.
