Perspective: Vanishing Point

Challenge #33 in the Ways of Seeing series. Hosted by jezsik.

Challenge has finished

Discovered by Renaissance artists, the vanishing point refers to the convergence of parallel lines in the distance. For artists, it creates a sense of perspective. For photographers capturing reality, it's just plane (sic) fun. Present an image with a really clear vanishing point. (See Additional rules.)
