I’m back – albeit a little late. I have to confess I lost track of the days and thought it was a day earlier. There is a perfectly good reason for this, which you may have guessed if you read my recent post about my upcoming travel plans. In the last week I’ve travelled right across the US via train, and then turned around and have driven halfway back across the country, so as you can imagine, I’m not entirely sure which time zone I’m in, let alone what day it is. I’m writing this from somewhere deep in North Dakota, which is very, very flat!
I have seen some stunning sights in this whirlwind zigzag across the country, and have had many, many adventures which I am longing to share, but have been thwarted by long days and intermittent internet access. However, here’s a sneak preview of some of the spectacular sights I’ve seen over the past few days, with my nose pressed up against train and car windows, and they all share a common thread – leading lines.
So this week’s travel theme is to share your interpretation of leading lines. If you’d like to join in, create your own post entitled Travel theme: Leading Lines and put a link to this page in your post so others can find it. I am on the road for another ten days but will be checking in to see what you all have in store for me, and don’t forget to come back next Friday to see the next travel theme!
Show me your leading lines! In the meantime, I will be looking at lots of this:

Well Ailsa you sure struck a good theme this time, some great entries, couldn’t resist this one though http://memoriesaremadeofthisblog.wordpress.com/2012/08/08/travel-themes-leading-lines-3
Squeak! I love this so much, pommepal – that second shot of Jack walking over the tracks totally made me think of that film ‘Oh Brother Where Art Thou’ – really wonderful! xxx Ailsa

Hi Ailsa…….
Here’s a lead to my post about leading lines in the landscape….
Oh 4otomo, your posts just get better and better – your shots of the vineyards in autumn are just dreamy, the colour in the closeups is spectacular. Really, truly lovely photos from South Africa. xxx Ailsa
Hey Ailsa, such a great landscapes you ‘ve posted here. They ‘re really breathing liberty…
My favorite one is the first.
Thanks again for the inspiring theme for this week.
Here ‘s my contribution, hope you like it. A little later than normal, but that ‘s because I got lost in walking lines… 😉

Thanks for inspiring me to contribute this week – it’s my first time, but I anticipate it won’t be my last.
Oh wow, gkm2011, so glad you joined in this week, such lovely photos – that one of the bamboos is my absolute favourite. xxx Ailsa

I could have selected any of a few dozen photographs from my archives that show leading lines, but I took these today and decided that this was it for this week’s travel theme. Here is my leading lines, an abstract from a vase of alstroemeria. http://wp.me/p1tzBV-1A3
A really fun take on leading lines, Anne, and I’m happy to hear the alstroemeria were unharmed. 😉

I am late this week too, been crazy busy. But here’s mine http://missperfectlyimperfect.wordpress.com/2012/08/08/travel-theme-leading-lines/
Fun light at the end of the tunnel shot – how long ago were you in Zion? I’ve heard it’s spectacular.
As I took another picture in the same ‘line’ and every line is defined by two points, here is my second entry for this week :

Bwahhaha, this is hilarious, Dauw, made me laugh out loud! xxx Ailsa

I’m rather bummed I missed the Leading Lines theme since it’s perfect for travel photos and so many sprang to mind. Oh well. Next time.
You know, you can always to a late post, I’d love to see your interpretation of Leading Lines! 😉 Ailsa
This is a fun one – especially now that I have taken a class or two and understand what leading lines are! I don’t know if I have any of my own to post right now, but want to explore everyone else’s so I can learn more about this cool concept. Thanks for all the inspiration and encouragement Ailsa! Hope your trip was fantastic!
