June challenge, leading lines

Your photograph this month does not have to be “about” lines – but it should demonstrate a close attention to how lines build a composition. In particular, see if you can incorporate some “leading lines” – though it’s not required. Leading lines are simply lines in your photograph that draw the viewer’s eye to the photo’s subject. They usually “come in” from outside the frame; often from a corner, but not necessarily.
Feel free to construct a scene, or simply wander about looking for naturally occurring lines. Once you start keeping an eye out for them, you’ll begin to notice them everywhere!

Over to you Mr Humphrey!

Well I had one photo ready to go for this topic, is it too literal an interpretation?

That's a good one Ian.  Got me wondering how the train is going to squeeze through the buildings in the distance.

Jan, Chris,

Thanks for the kind comments. Was not quite sure if it worked as the line really went to nowhere but it is actually the building and as you say, how does the train pass.

Apart from removing a few reflections, it is as-short. If I remove the signal in the bottom right, it might do for a PDI competition.

Literal interpretation of "lines" leading to a train to London (soon to be in shot).
