Fixed-Lens Photo Challenge #041: Subject: Converging Lines
_______________
This week’s topic: This week show me a photo that is dominated by converging lines. Classic examples are railroad tracks and streets. But many more examples can be found in architecture and in nature. See what you can find; and, as always, great Exposure and Composition will carry the day!

M_Six - D.C.: Class DC Mall shot with gigantic converging lines of the pool based on the camera angle.
Maureen Souza - Light Repair: Cool photo, but crossing not converging.
