Train Wall

Porto, Portugal

The top level of the Ponte Dom Luis I Bridge spanning the Duoro River is shared by both pedestrians and commuter trains.  As a train passes by the narrow pedestrian walkways along the edge, a reflective wall is created.

Wauconda

52Frames - Week 36 - Triangular Composition

Photowalk at the Wauconda Farmers Market.  The water tower peeking over the buildings and framed by the wires caught my attention for this week's challenge.  An accidental bonus was the guy walking his dog down the sidewalk being completely hidden by the power pole while his dog is not.

52Frames - Week 2 - Leading Lines

The original idea for this shot was much different; focusing entirely on the tower itself.  When I saw the poles lying on the ground and changed my perspective, I knew the original idea was history.

I'm also claiming the extra credit for 4 or more leading lines: 1) poles, 2-4) wires left, center & right, and although subtle, 5) brighter clouds following the line of towers.
