A public appeal--Be in my art project!

Hey there, world.
Have you ever looked up at the sky and wondered how many other people have looked at it before you? How many people are looking at it now? To how many people it is familiar, and how many people call it their own? 
I have always marvelled over how such a simple thing is common for every single person out there in the big wide world, and as part of my Year 12 IB Visual Art studies I want to create an art piece about it!


This is where I need your help! Yes, you right now, reading these words! I want to collect photos of the sky from as many corners of the globe as I can. 


I plan on collaging them together and screen printing the image onto a huge sheet of material that will hang from the ceiling, with tucks, folds and gathers. I want to represent the universality of the sky and I am entirely dependent on your help.


So please, go outside or up to a window right now and take a photo of your sky, and submit it here

No matter whether it's day or night, clear or cloudy, a professional shot or a phone picture. If possible, no trees, power lines or other obscuring objects please (but I'm not too picky)!
Please also tell me where the photo was taken.
Note: This work will be displayed at a high school art exhibition. I will happily credit your name if you would like.

Thank you so much,
Beatrice W
