Sorry Tatiana, but this is not what I had in mind for Pock-marked.
This is the same surface texture that you posted for "Granular" - how can it be both?

It was taken in the same place, but it's not the same - I didn't exactly know what the Pock-marked was, so I looked on the internet, and I found it to be very similar to "granular": http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=pock-marked+texture&qpvt=Pock-marked+tecture&qpvt=Pock-marked+tecture&FORM=IGRE

No problem though, I will remove it with my deep apologies.

No apologies needed or wanted Tatiana... just trying to keep the challenge "challenging".
A Google Images search shows the characteristic "dimpled" texture I had in mind - something not just rough or uneven... perhaps I should have said dimpled.

Example (my image):

Greenhouse (via panels of glass)



Next: converging lines

Great shot Denise, and very much in line with the challenge

Tatiana, sorry to have confused you. The first time I asked for a Greenhouse I got a Green House, which was very inventive but not what I had in mind
Second time I made it clearer, but still wasn't looking for a "thing", but for a something which had the shape or texture (or both) of what a greenhouse in which vegetables or flowers grow looks like, so something with many small windows, reflections etc (like Denise's shot). I'll try to be more clear in the future.

Thanks Denise, it's another "Facade Story", but no real visible changes to be seen in this picture. However the building has seen many changes and uses over the years.

Denise - your flower shots are spectacular. Love the Azalea!

Greenhouse
This photo here is for Pegelli



I know that for his request I came up with a joke, which I shouldn't...
Although he insisted on his request, nobody other than Denise (who came up with an alternative of a glass building) had anything.

I just totally forgot though about the photos I took (many) at the Bellagio Gardens and Conservatory in Vegas.
Not only that the whole building with the beautiful glass ceiling looks like a greenhouse, but in the spring 2014, they even had a greenhouse like shelter for plants and butterflies.

Next: Multiple Tubes (not cylinders)

I'm so curious to see what those may look like

Grilled German sausages especially!!! - I didn't know that they were called like this - I saw some when I was in Germany, but all I know as names are bratwursts and Nuremberg sausages

sarasphotos

Ah, you misunderstood me! "Tube steak" is a (US) American slang name for hot dogs. Of course the term probably not known to young people today but oldsters like me most likely know it. And you're right, here in Germany it's all Wurst - Bratwurst, Nürnberger, Regensburger, even Augsburger - every region has their specialty.

Ha, ha, yes in Germany is all Wurst - whatever names they have I've been in many places in Germany and other than schnitzel I always had wursts with sauerkraut

About the US tubes I had no idea... my husband may know he's a yankee I'm not young but I'm not from here either - now I learned something from a German

PS: Originally I am from Romania

Earache

Tubes are by definition, hollow... not necessarily cylindrical nor merely cylindrical - hot dogs are not hollow.
No big deal - I don't particularly enjoy dissecting each of these ideas, so, your pic is fine, please advance the challenge.

Do you have a pic?

@ Tatjana - don't get the wrong idea, I'm not a German but a transplanted American who's lived here since '98.

I thought you might have been (I hope it's correct), judging from the language

I love Germany.

None of yours?

Sorry to ask, but which ones are not cylinders?
