Mini Challenge # 325 - Converging Lines

Cavalier

Text Book definition - The lines or edges of objects appear to converge or taper as they recede in the distance to a common point on the eye level or horizon line. In Linear Perspective this is referred to as a Vanishing Point. For this mini, the edges/lines can converge on the horizon, at the bottom or anywhere in the photo.

The Rules and Guidelines for Mini Challenges can be found at https://dgrin.com/discussion/248032/mini-challenge-un-official-rules#latest. Scroll to the top of that page to find the rules.
This mini will end in two weeks, on Saturday, October 9.

I haven't used this technique a lot, but I do appreciate the art form and am looking forward to your entries.
Here are a couple of simple examples:

Colorado highway heading into a storm:

Heading over the Sierra Mountains

A rather short example where the lines don't really converge, but do taper.

Roads and railroad tracks are obvious candidates

1. Arriving at Railroad station in NJ - my sister is taking a photo of me as I take a photo of her
   

2. The new capitol building in Tallahassee Florida. The lines converge someplace in the upper left edge
   

3. The Alhambra's Generalife: The gardens of Islamic paradise- digitized slide from 1964. Slightly less obvious lines of convergence
   

And this is not for judging as I wasn't sure if it qualified - a print picture that was digitized - 1982 Ship's Quarters combined training event. Mike Plumb jumping a fence line fence (Fence #26) on a horse named Quality Scope

Sorry everyone - I left out the end date of the mini. I had it all ready to go and didn't save it before my browser aborted and in my haste to redo it, forgot the end date. Saturday, October 9 will be the last day of the mini.

And, great stuff going on here!!

Here's one for this challenge. Will come back with one or two more if I can.

1) Luxembourg American Cemetery

2) Another view of the Luxembourg American Cemetery

3) Passing through one of the terminals in O'Hare Airport in Chicago

We had a short layover in O'Hare on our way from Philadelphia to New Mexico several years ago. I had heard about this terminal but not seen it before this early morning trip.

Geez, I sort of ran out of time on this one so I hurriedly searched out a few appropriate shots. Hope they fit the brief.

1) Leading into La Catedral in Córdoba, Spain

2) Passing over the railroad track on a Winter morning bike ride. The Alps in the distance.

3) On a spring hike

Cavalier

thanks Sara - they do fit nicely!
