Today I was walking down a street that I have traversed almost twice daily for the past two weeks – and countless times before that – when i randomly raised my eyes and realised I was passing a house I had never ever seen before. It's a quite a short street by street-standards so it surprised me quite a lot.
I'm not implying that the house suddenly apparated out of nowhere, Harry-Potter style, but that I had simply never looked at it as I was walking by. Like some sort of blind spot.
This happens to me with houses (only houses) on familiar, well-trodden streets on a regular basis. I probably should kick the habit and start taking more notice if i'm to be an architect.
It's strange how you can 'see' things without really looking at them – and disconcerting. It makes me wonder what else I am missing...
