The theme for the December competition is.....

a repeat from 2010, but seeing as I've only had a camera for five years, I'm claiming ignorance

"Perspective"

This can be interpreted very widely, so I'm hoping to see quite a few different takes on "Perspective". My very ordered and slightly OCD mind seems to have an attraction for symmetry and converging lines - I have a few in my own FlickR feed, such as this one:-

Going up in the world... by Nigel Ogram, on Flickr

I'd love to see some other ideas - perhaps something from nature, or even some macro shots

It would be interesting to hear a back-story to a particular photo - was it set up, or was it opportune? Did you plan it, or just stumble across it (as I did with the underground escalator shot)

Good luck everyone.

Rules:
The photos taken must be your own work and can be taken at anytime, but please get out with your gear if you have time.
The competition will run from the first to the last day of the month.
The winner from the previous month decides on the topic for the following month and judges it at the end of the month.
Entries and discussion on this single thread, please.
All entrants acknowledge that they may indeed win and that their adherence to convention ensures everyone else's continued fun.
Photos entered can be as large as you like, although bear in mind if too large, it may not be possible to see the whole image on some screens. Links to larger versions are permissible.

Ruins of the motor garage at the abandoned Bushfield Camp near Winchester.
360-degree infrared fisheye panorama.

Plenty of perspective here, but puzzling it out can make your head hurt.

Random one I took on my phone a year or so ago as I was going into this restaurant. I liked the way the last of the daylight was hitting the windows.

Great burger too by the way!

Snapped on my phone (IPhone XR) without looking whilst crossing (at a legitimate crossing!) - straight out of phone, no straightening - so, so lucky ;-)

The Glasgow Transport Museum and Tall Ship. One of the very first snaps I’ve taken since I got my PfCO last month.

Midnight In Shawlands.

This is a pic I took using my drone as part of a camera club project, 24 Hours in Shawlands. I had the 12.00-02.00 am slot.

Did some shooting around Berlin with my trusty film camera, and took this at the Hauptbhanhof Station...

I was one of around 220 people all being made redundant together in July '16, our site was going to be shut down and has since been demolished. A week prior to our last ever day a conversation was had about what we'd be getting up to in our first few days of freedom, for those that weren't dropping straight into another job. For me it would be a trip into London to visit the Royal Observatory, the Maritime Museum and a cruise from there to Westminster, which is where I took this -

Perspective

I didn't want to carry my DSLR around with me all day so had to rely on my Sony mobile. I had intended on taking some 'photos and do try to capture an interesting angle if I can, no specific shots were planned though.

Edit - I don't often visit this part of PH, can we enter more than a single 'photo or is it just the one shot?

Single photo only

Damn, it’s going to be difficult to pick a winner, and we’re only a few days in....

Egypt, Red Sea. Avoiding Christmas shopping last week with a gopro 7 taking on water meaning no screen or settings available and a dome leaking. After getting the photo the camera and dome went in the bin!
