I personalized this week’s challenge in its interpretation – to try to find pictures from various recent travels that derive a significant part of their character from the presence of lines in them. I was moderately successful, I think!
This is a picture from the window of our hotel room in Reno, NV, during a trip early in 2017.
This is a picture of a hotel in Mammoth Lakes, CA. The lines on this hotel came to life in the early morning light.
The lines on the sand dunes of Mesquite Flat in Death Valley, CA, are the only natural ones that I have in this collection of pictures. You will notice that these lines are the only ones where there are curves that are obvious. (There is probably a lesson somewhere in there!)
A couple of months later we visited the New England area. This picture shows the lines on one of the trains on the Mt. Washington Cog Railway in New Hampshire. The engine is at a different angle than the carriage because it is stopped at the edge of the slope.
Lines and angles dominate the picture of this covered bridge over the Ammonoosuc river in Littleton, NH.
The lines on the Icefields Parkway dominated my six day bike ride through the Canadian Rockies in the later half of 2017.
This picture was taken in St. Louis, MO later in 2017. It should not be difficult to guess what the subject matter of this picture is.
This picture was taken at Middle of the Earth, just outside of Quito, in Ecuador on the equatorial line in November 2017.
This picture is of a corridor in the Design Hotel in Chennai in India at the end of the year. This is considered a “boutique hotel“.
I love the lines on the Boeing 787-9 that we saw at Charles de Gaulle airport on our way back from India.
The lines of the roof at this gas station in Effingham, IL, caught my eye during a road trip earlier this year. Yes, we had some late-season snow in our part of the world, but it is all over now!
