Our Word of the Month for May, perspective, was inspired by this series of photos we received in an email. “As a Pilot Sees the World,” shows cities and landmarks of the world from a breathtaking and thought-provoking vantage.

We learn from Flyboyzblog.com that the city shown above – Venice, Italy – “is situated on a group of 118 small islands separated by canals and linked by bridges.” That it’s a city of canals is common knowledge, but a shift in perspective allowed us to learn that the canals essentially created a city out of many islands.

Taking the opportunity to view something in a different way, from a different angle, can not only help us appreciate it more but it can also add knowledge, bringing refreshed meaning to the phrase, “gaining perspective.”
