An ephemeral leading line from SW England
Now 2 very solid and lasting leading lines
Hadrian's Wall about 15 miles East of my house
St Michael's Mount SW England with the visitors walking back over the causeway before the incoming tide strands them on the island.
A tiny jetty on a Scottish Loch. I keep meaning to go and shoot here in the Autumn but something always seems to get in the way.
St. Mary's lighthouse on the NE English coast. Ken

Beautiful and fitting examples for today's Task. My favorites are your first two images––good composition and great captures!

John, I love how the original sign was discarded in your intro slide to make room for the new one. Nicely done!

Beautiful images Alan, I especially favor your last capture—stunning imalge with the highlighted waves leading the eye to the gorgeous sunset. The first image’s (drone?) viewpoint works well revealing its leading lines—good image!

Michael, great images for this Task—I especially favor the last image’s curved road disappearing into the gorgeous landscape—wonderful color. I like the first image’s centered dock leading line to the background. Nice. Thank you for your kind observation of the intro slide—I try to keep it interesting.

Craig, I absolutely love the magnificent middle image—perfect! Nice snowy road in your first image and good composition; the last image’s colors and composition are also well captured—nice image.

Ben, love the last image’s colors, reflection, composition/viewpoint—this image and the Virgin River landscape (love the colors) are my favorites, but all are very, very nice!

Kyle, happy to see your Monument Valley image again––too many leading lines to count! A very, very nice image! I love the subtle color of the frozen Lake McDonald and subtle leading line as well. Gorgeous! Of course your beautiful Wave image is perfect for this Task––and why not include it!
A few from me.

The Eastern Sierra image is perfect for this Task—and a perfect image and my favorite image as well. Love it! The Oregon coastal image is very, very nice in composition and limited color palette. The Monument Valley is also an interesting addition and what a leading line too!

I just got back from CA yesterday. Here are a couple from that trip.
Anza Borrego Desert State Park, CA
Palm Springs wind turbines. The wind was blowing over 35 mph with gusts up to 50 mph, so I was on my knees when I took this image.
