So much sky.....

I took this picture the other day on a walk along the hill road near our house. 

And it reminded me of something a  friend once said to me, when over here on holiday.
 
"I love France - there always seems to be so much sky" 

And I know what she means.  That day the sky was an almost impossible blue and it went on forever, the fading vapour trails only enhancing it's breadth and depth.  


Truly beautiful.

Maybe it's because there is so much more space here in France, that we notice the sky more or maybe it's the light.  But I don't think so.  

I think it's just that we only really see it when we're relaxed and more aware of the world around us.  Maybe when we're on holiday and a million miles away from the grindstone.  Or in a quiet moment at home, when we can stare out of the window and just be - letting it sink in and stay a while.

Wherever you are in the world, may your sky be big today..........
