The Only Way Is Up: 20 Images Looking To The Heavens

By EyeEm Team - 3 min read

Tear yourself away from your screens to check out the world around you

The idea behind our recent Look Up and Thrive photo mission with The Huffington Post was to encourage some time away from our lives of screens, social media and smartphones and to reconnect with our sense of wonder at the world around us.

We asked you to look up at the skyline above you and capture what was there. Whether an urban landscape, a country sunset or a nautical horizon, this was your chance to capture it and join in the fun. The range of submissions covered all these scenes and more – well done to everyone who took part! Check out some of the highlights below.
