Up is the sky and down is the ground, and everything else lives in between. I see the clouds beyond the treetops moving across the blue expanse, meanwhile my shadow dances with the wind across the sand.
Sunlight casts its rays down from far above while trees reach up, and give us shelter below. Tide pools draw me in to their mysterious world while birds call out from above.
Look up! Look down! The world is a magnificent place, giving us thrills and surprises in every direction. That’s why we keep our cameras at the ready, wanting to capture each spectacular moment of grace.
Going down, looking up, it’s all part of the fun. Above my head spring blossoms give me hope, while below remnants of the past form interesting patterns. Joy swells in my heart for the beauty that surrounds me.

The rails are at an old mining site at Katoomba, in the Blue Mountains of Australia. It’s now part of a tourist attraction called Scenic World. It is very steep!
