LO1 Leading lines in pictures

This images uses leading lines to show the length of the road and its extension off into the distance. The curve at the end leads the eye off the edge of the photo.







Similarly this uses a straight line stretching off into the distance to show the great length of the road and pulls focus to the distance.
The photo draws your eye to the road curving up at the end.







The leading lines in this image make the picture appear to vanish into nothing, as well as making the station seem much longer than it really is.
