These are all awesome. I must dig through my shots to see if anything fits this challenge. This is great.

(edited) Do these have to be new shots made especially for the challenge or just shots never posted before?

Under Sunset Beach, NC pier.

Great shot! I always LOVE black and white... sets a mood like a colour photo cant.

And as for the photo stock... you CAN use from your archive, but we prefer you take new pictures for the challenge. The point is to try new things thats why its a "challenge" haha but this is an amazing archive shot and a great addition to this months forum.

Beautiful work, looking forward to seeing two more, Willie (Im still looking for 2 more, too!)

A beautiful image for this challenge, Willie!
Wishing you all a good start of the week :)

Great challenge! This is my contribution with a picture of "Ponte del Mare" in Pescara (Italy)...

Thanks to Lashia for suggesting me to partecipate with this picture!

dochtersions ( ) posted Mon, 11 July 2011 at 2:04 AM

Such great lines, and a beautiful view / sky too, behind!

myrrhluz ( ) posted Mon, 11 July 2011 at 2:11 AM

I just posted this tonight, but it is very vertical, so here it is again.

myrrhluz ( ) posted Mon, 11 July 2011 at 2:13 AM

It's the Spire of Dublin. :)

dochtersions ( ) posted Mon, 11 July 2011 at 2:27 AM

Hi Lucinda!

An impressive image of the lines on the road to the needle, which is blown up.

Great find and shot WOW !

myrrhluz ( ) posted Mon, 11 July 2011 at 2:28 AM

The Giant's Causeway is a very vertical sort of place too.

myrrhluz ( ) posted Mon, 11 July 2011 at 2:49 AM

Thanks Jacomina! :)

I think I know why my pic didn't attach before. I had an apostrophe in its name. Once I changed it to Giant Causeway it did alright.

dochtersions ( ) posted Mon, 11 July 2011 at 3:09 AM

So happy you succeeded, Lucinda.

This again is a very impressing one, with wonderful texures in it too :)!

myrrhluz ( ) posted Mon, 11 July 2011 at 3:12 AM

Thanks again, :)

Meisiekind ( ) posted Mon, 11 July 2011 at 10:53 AM

Some more exceptional images!

skiwillgee - I agree with Lashia - exceptional shot!

@Clive    Im waiiitttiinngg haha you always have such amazing shots!
@Marco    There is a huge smile on my face! Great shot, I was right, a beautiful addition to the challenge, and I hope you keep Vertical Lines in mind when you're out with your camera again for another 2 shots!
@Lucinda   Great shot, not only of the rock but to get a 2 in 1 with this candid portrait. Also love the way the lines in the ground lead your eye to this GIANT tower. Great lines :-)

Great shots, with my PS out of order these last two posts are hard to push out! Awesome posts so far, and a great choice for this months challenge (it IS challenging!) :-)

Great shots Tara! I love the one of the doors. When my older son was about 3 he would have closed all the doors, continuously. It drove my mom nuts!

mariogiannecchini ( ) posted Tue, 12 July 2011 at 4:13 AM

Vedo ottime immagini recenti ! Complimneti ai vari autori !

Vedo con piacere un intervento dall'Italia.

I see excellent recent images! Congratulations to the various authors!

I welcome intervention from Italy.

Ora la mia terza , tra le varie possibilità , ho preferito uno scatto insolito tra le canne di Bambù , Trovate di fianco alla Certosa di Farneta ( panoramica postata a dicembre )

Now my third, among other possibilities, I chose an unusual shot among the reeds of bamboo, situated next to Charterhouse Farneta (overview posted in December)

skiwillgee ( ) posted Tue, 12 July 2011 at 7:36 AM

I really like that bamboo curtain shot followed by marigiannichini's bamboo curtain still growing.

mariogiannecchini ( ) posted Tue, 12 July 2011 at 8:18 AM

Thank, skiwillgee !!

dochtersions ( ) posted Tue, 12 July 2011 at 8:50 AM

Surprising great ones, Tara and Mario.

A joy to see them.

Lashia ( ) posted Tue, 12 July 2011 at 11:39 AM

@Willie I AGREE!

@Tara I love the first shot, same idea as my (ONLY) upload haha Im workin' on it!

@Mario A great third upload, I love the darkness of the underbrush with the light just snaking through some of the trees

Great shots everyone. I have today off (so far) and my husband is at work, so maybe I will fit in some editing time amongst cleaning the house!!

myrrhluz ( ) posted Tue, 12 July 2011 at 12:02 PM

Wonderful shot Mario! Beautiful patterns of green behind the lines of bamboo.

Thanks to Lashia and to dear friend Lucinda and good evening to both of them!

Grazie a Lashia a alla cara amica Lucinda e buona serata a ambedue !

Beautiful photos , Magik !

dochtersions ( ) posted Tue, 12 July 2011 at 12:47 PM

Ha, Magik, right into the sky with your vertical's. Great POV!!!

skiwillgee ( ) posted Tue, 12 July 2011 at 1:06 PM · edited Tue, 12 July 2011 at 1:06 PM

I shot this new one for the challenge today. A view of the transformer yard beside a power plant close to my house.

I chose B/W again because the color shot lacked appeal to me. This way you can imagine in your own colors.

dochtersions ( ) posted Tue, 12 July 2011 at 1:13 PM

Superb image, skiwillgee!

dochtersions ( ) posted Tue, 12 July 2011 at 1:14 PM

This is a Zinnia, but it still needs to be a real flower. :)

Ottima scelta del B&W per dare maggior risalto alla scena ! Splendida Photo !

Excellent choice of B & W to emphasize the scene! Wonderful Photo!

Mario

Lashia ( ) posted Tue, 12 July 2011 at 1:38 PM

@Real Beautiful shots, I love the second one for its symmetry. Great POV

@Willie Agree with Mario, the B&W is always a hit with me, beautiful shot.

@Mies Beautiful clearity and sharpness in the shot, really enhances the colours

Lashia

myrrhluz ( ) posted Tue, 12 July 2011 at 3:35 PM

Magik, I love your two shots! That is one amazing fire escape. Wonderful!

skiwillgee, Excellent shot! I like that some of the thingamajigs are white and others black. Great choice of B&W!

Jacomina, I think you talked nicely to your flower (or maybe you barked an order) to get it to stand at attention. ;) I love it! Beautiful image!

makron ( ) posted Tue, 12 July 2011 at 3:43 PM

This photo is taken on the facade of the monastery of Uclés (Cuenca, Spain) I think it is a good example of picture vertical lines.

mariogiannecchini ( ) posted Tue, 12 July 2011 at 4:41 PM

Great shot , Mies !Splendi deatails and colors !

myrrhluz ( ) posted Tue, 12 July 2011 at 6:28 PM

Makron, Lots of vertical lines there alright. And some curious details too. Great shot!

mariogiannecchini ( ) posted Wed, 13 July 2011 at 12:54 AM

Beautiful idea and great shot , makron !

dochtersions ( ) posted Wed, 13 July 2011 at 3:42 AM

YES!! Some amazing details between the lines, Macron.
Love your lines (and shoes) :D

Lashia ( ) posted Wed, 13 July 2011 at 7:54 PM

@Angel Glad to see you decided to upload here! An awesome shot, with interesting subject (Shoes? haha)

Here is my second upload!!! It's taken me forever, I am such a procrastinator. Awesome uploads from everyone so far :-)

Lashia When I saw this I thought of the song "We are climbing Jacob's ladder". It looks like it's going right up to heaven. Excellent POV and shot!

dochtersions ( ) posted Thu, 14 July 2011 at 4:06 AM

Well, is this an intresting shot, Lashia. Great POV, the verticals are going very high :)

mariogiannecchini ( ) posted Thu, 14 July 2011 at 4:12 AM

Concordo pienamente con quanto detto da Lucinda e Mies ! Ottima prova !!!

I fully agree with what was said by Lucinda and Mies! Very good test!

Meisiekind ( ) posted Thu, 14 July 2011 at 1:10 PM

Excellent images by all!
