Here's the deal: straight lines
It hit me while I was walking to work in Toronto one morning last week. The streetscape was composed almost entirely of straight lines - buildings, roads and other infrastructure - and despite the complete lack of anything natural, it seemed so strike one of my nerves just so. Out came the phone and I started shooting.
The launch photo for this new theme is obviously anything but urban, but I thought it would be a neat way to kick things off. Nature can throw anything at us - curves as well as straight lines - and it's up to us to look up and take notice. Over the next week, I hope you'll take notice wherever you are, and I hope you'll share what you see.
Your turn: The deal is simple. Just take a pic with straight lines in it - or one that merely suggests the concept - and post it to your blog or website. Leave a comment here letting folks know where to find it, then pop over to other participants to share the joy*. Feel free to repeat as often as you wish through the week (there's no such thing as being late when it comes to Thematic, as anytime is a good time to share.) If you'd like to learn more about Thematic, just click here.
* My bad: I've slacked on this last bit lately. Life's getting in the way...will catch up soon.
Straight lines can be angles too, right?

Don't burn out Carmi, pace yourself. :)
I have straight lines, with d.a.w.g.

I see many straight lines, going many ways.

Sometimes blogging and commenting has to take a back seat to other things. It just shows your priorities are in order. I may have to start participating in this thing...
ReplyDeleteNice pic Carmi!
An emeergency prevented me taking part last week, but I am in earlier this week at http://gillymaccsphotos.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI thought that I would have many many that would fit this theme, but it turned out that I had fewer than I thought. I found one, though.
ReplyDeleteKeeping on the straight and narrow.

"Overwhelming myself" - that's exactly how I've been feeling for about the last 3 months!!
ReplyDeleteHere are some mostly straight lines from today's day off.
I have some straight lines that suggest a curve. Just for fun.
ReplyDeleteI think I feel the soft gentle breeze flowing here! Nice capture! Here's mine

For some reason I have fewer photos involving straight lines than I would have thought... but I dug around a bit this morning (I woke early after an odd dream involving a polar bear, an owl, a hawk, and a cave) and found this one, which I quite like.
