Black & White Sunday: Leading Lines

Leading lines are lines within an image that lead the eye to another point in the image, or occasionally, out of the image. Anything with a definite line can be a leading line. Fences, bridges, even a shoreline can lead the eye. I look forward to seeing your contributions to this Black & White Sunday challenge. Anything in monochrome is acceptable, even with selective colouring or sepia if you fancy.

This is my last photo challenge in 2015. Though I am here and working through this festive time, I imagine that many of you will be away celebrating with family and friends, so we’d better leave new challenges for the new year. Peaceful and cheerful holidays to all of you!

  1. Bonne fin de journée Paula,
    Je te souhaite aussi de bonnes fêtes. Je viens d’avoir quelques journées de courses et aujourd’hui c’était l’anniversaire de mon mari, avec une petite fête à la maison avec enfants et petits-enfants. 🙂
    Donc pas de présence sur internet, mais j’ai fait des photos 😉
    Bien entendu que j’aimerais participer et je vais devoir noter tous les thèmes de l’année prochaine pour ne pas les oublier.
    Je propose un thème : Serrure

  2. Zut, j’ai fait enter trop vite 🙂
    Si tu veux bien corriger ? Et ajouter ceci :
    Dans le mode couleur pour serrure.
    Passe un bon dimanche et aussi un bon nouvel an, en espérant que tout aille mieux en Europe l’année prochaine et partout dans le monde, et de belles réalisations positives dans ton univers 🙂
    Amitiés
    Geneviève

  4. Almost perfect lines Paula. All converging, and despite the coming storm above, give an impression of peace and freshness. Was that taken (around) where you live? (Au fait, où habites-tu? Slovénie?)

  5. […] The thing I love about challenges is they make me think outside the parameter of my comfort zone. This challenge at Paula’s place is one I am excited about because I like shooting from varies view points. Now as a one dimensional kind of guys this is kind of weird but I hate shooting anything straight on. Just don’t like it even if that is what one should do. One dimensional may mean hard headed…….just saying. So here is some of my contributions to Black & White Sunday:Leading Lines. […]
