Thank you to everyone who took part in last month's 197th Barnack's Monthly theme, which was filled with nearly 1,500 pictures, excellent ideas and interpretations of the theme.   Also, thank you to everyone who helped to make it another successful month by generously posting their pictures and in particular to those people who posted for the first time - I hope you found it an interesting and rewarding experience and I hope it encourages you to share more of your pictures with us!

Thank you all so much for contributing by very kindly sharing your photos because it's you who keep Barnack's Monthly going.  Without your pictures there could be no Barnack's Monthly. 

The 198th Barnack's Monthly theme, for March 2025, is:

 Parallel Lines.

This month's theme is any picture that contains parallel lines, whether straight or bendy as long as they are parallel.

For example, it could be one pair of parallel lines, many parallel lines, straight parallel lines, curved parallel lines, short parallel lines, long parallel lines, railway lines, lines on a wardrobe, leaded window panes, lines on a sports pitch, parallel lines on the side of an ocean liner, parallel street lamps, lines around a rectangular manhole, parallel lines of stitches on Levi jeans, lines on a Snakes & Ladders board, pinstripes on a suit, motorway lane markers,  aircraft launch lines on an aircraft carrier, car parking bay lines, rugby goal posts, swimming lanes, double yellow lines following a curved kerb, the bars in a Rolls Royce grill, the parallel circular lines around a porthole, the rungs in a ladder, the styles in a ladder, the steps in a staircase, a run of flagpoles outside a large hotel, the fountain display outside the Bellagio in Las Vegas, shelving in a supermarket, an album by Blondie, a line of poplar trees beside a country lane, the furrows in a ploughed meadow, lines of Lavender bushes in Provence - it's entirely your choice so let your imagination run free!   

It would be a big help if you give your picture a title to help us understand your point of view. Members have asked if we'd very kindly name the camera and lens used because it's interesting to know.

The rules are deliberately loose so go out and shoot with this month's theme in mind or start searching back through those pictures you took oh-so long ago that you'd forgotten about and start posting! It doesn't have to be your best ever shot and it's not a competition so you might surprise the rest of us and yourself - it's just about sharing some pictures, seeing others' take on the topic, and enjoying it!

Everybody's welcome to contribute, any interpretation, any number of posts (but to avoid swamping the thread would you very kindly please post no more than ten pictures at a time and no more than 20 pictures per day), pictures that have been posted on the forum before are fine, and any equipment as long as it complies with the forum's rules (either camera or lens or both made by Leica or the Leica-Sigma-Panasonic "L-Mount" Partnership). Please post freely - especially newcomers and please remember there's no judging or criticism (good or bad) in this threadSo, if you'd like to show your acknowledgement or appreciation that someone has posted their picture then instead of posting a comment please use the "Thanks" button that you can find at the bottom right of every post.

Please post away and I look forward to seeing your interesting interpretations of this month's theme.

Note: Moderator Pop has very kindly assembled links to all of the past Barnack's Monthly threads as a single archive that can be found here: Barnack's Monthly Index.  Thank you, Pop!
 
Pete.

I hope parallel lines that are converging due to the perspective are OK (if not let me know Pete)
