Day 20

Converging Parallellerellals...you know what what I mean - train tracks. I have honestly been looking for anything but this cliche but everything is curvy in this part of the world (Don't even go there!), so I had to settle for your bog standard 4' 8.5" gauge track (that's 1435mm for you imperially-challenged folks)

 
In answer to Andromeda's query on the garden table(Day 17) - yes it is straight. As Eury says it's an optical illusion (cough...which I obviously planned into the shot...)

    Cliche's only become cliche's because they're so visually appealing that everyone want to shoot them :-) So it's cool!!

    It's a beautiful shot! I like the sortof "looking down on the tracks" feel...

    What UB said ^^

    Cliche's are what they are cos they are cool! I think having two tracks there elevates this a little above the norm of cliches though! Good job.

    Oh, double tracks are very cool. Personally I think I would crop out the sky at the top.. makes it a bit more abstracty. Still, very cool piece!

    I like it with the sky in there, and might like to see even more. That proves this is art! Different opinions. :)

    I haven't done converging parallels yet because all I can think of is train tracks or a road. I know -- this is Texas. I should be able to find some wagon tracks, right? ;)

    I'm sure the table is straight but my eyes still don't believe you :-)

    I like todays shot, cliche or not.

    If you get down closer to the ground they converge even faster. Just sayin...

    I really like this shot, I like the long crop, it just leads you on and on.
