Thanks to Gary for suggesting "Lines" as this week's theme. As token thanks, the starter image was taken in Toronto.

Is it a stretch? Perhaps. But this line across the two bays is a railroad track, and it separates Chuckanut Bay from Mud Bay. Mud Bay gets its name from the fact it is filled with mud, since the railroad line keeps the sediment in!

Yesterday I was doing the 12 of 12 photo challenge, so was looking for the theme too, then found I had a number of lined shots, though this was the intended one . . .

the windows of the library/museum building

Hello from London -

We have been here six days now. The neighbours' laundry lines have not changed! And they are there.

I hope a second image is okay. This is much prettier. We spent the morning walking around Regent's Park. The gardens are jaw-droppingly gorgeous!

Here's mine. Power "lines" ruining a perfect shot of a pretty Victorian.

I liked the lines in this ceiling of a bar and grill in Riviera Beach, FL. We managed to sit where there was not one bird over us!!!

Some more. I'm not sure what this is exactly. Perhaps some outdoor sculpture? It's in the children's play area of my local park.

I prefer the first of these two images, but didn't want all my work on the second one to go to waste, so am posting it as well. Mmm, sometimes less is more.......

Was walking down our back property, the junky bit :), when I noticed the lines of the boat with the lines of the shed in the background. My 'line' searching was over!

Last week, I took the grandkids to the Zoo.. Here's a quick picture of the Desert Dome. Plenty of lines here.

I was a long-time third grade teacher, and one of the biggest jobs at the beginning of every school year was teaching children how to write on notebook paper. Notice that I put the pencil on the right, even though I am left handed.

I wanted to capture the lines on the deck and railing and I ended up also getting the shadow lines, courtesy of the morning sun.

I took this yesterday at my son's soccer game - lines on the field and lines on the track. My son is #13 in the white shirt - looks like he is gonna fall on someone, amazing how these boys stay on their feet (that is probably why I have one out the season w/ a broken leg LOL)

This is the last one - I promise. But the theme seemed to be everywhere we went in London yesterday! This is the roof of the Great Court at the British Museum.

Lets get curvy with lines!
This is a 23" opalescent vase/compote/centerpiece that my former boss gave me. It's a mouth blown piece, the top bowl is connected to the base by very thin drip strands of the same opal glass....very fragile & has a crack in one of the strands near the base... I am actually hoping it breaks some day so I can stop worrying about it. :eek:
I set the shot up with no direct light, full lighting on the background & let the reflective light come through the vase. Enjoy:cool:

Rob, if you don't want to worry about your vase, I'll happily take it off your hands.

Not as interesting as so many of the shots-but here's the line of telephone poles up my street.......

Okay, here's another one. :D It's my cupboard off my kitchen, though it's not actually that color.

Just took a walk at lunch....looking for lines and this what I found. It wasn't exactly what I was looking for but as I started to go down the steps, it hit me....lines!! So, I had to stop and take the photo.

"Caught Behind The Lines" Ok, ok, no REAL lines except maybe for the morter between the bricks, but this just sounded funny to me. Maybe I'm in a weakened condition this weekend! :D Doris

[Ellen]

There has been some really fantastic line shots. This may be crossing the line.;)

Wondered what I'd do this week and then tonight I looked out of the window and there was a nice sunset and lo and behold lots of lines :)

Was downtown Toronto checking out a used lens I want to pick up from a fellow photo group member and saw this as I got out of my car.
Not as many as Tony's but not too far from Bill's starter.
