Parallel lines meet where?

Parallel lines meet where?
Happy Fence Friday!!


In the realm of Euclidean geometry we can refer to Euclid's 'Elements' 5th Postulate, and 23rd Definition "Parallel straight lines are straight lines which, being in the same plane and being produced indefinitely in both directions, do not meet one another in either direction."
However, if we work in the domain of Projective Geometry, parallel lines meet at a 'Vanishing point' or 'Point at infinity' . Enough said!!!

Thank you Steve,
It was almost sunset, and a row of trees just off to the left had made a big pattern of shadows which I was trying to capture. I am pleased that you like it!

Thank you Andy,

To be really difficult, I could say "they meet o the left side of the picture, about half way up!"
But to add to the confusion I have added an explanation in the box above!
