Sunday Stills - Lines

Today's Sunday Stills Challenge is Lines. I had a couple of ideas early on in the week, and I think I'll use them, along with a last minute idea that came to me this morning.
The first two images were taken at the pole farm, where I learned how to climb a telephone pole.
This image is a fence and shadow in my neighborhood.
This image is a line of Irish dancers performing at a fundraiser. They are from McBride's School of Irish Dance, and I've seen many of their performances.

This final image is from Sacred Ground: America's Military Cemeteries. It's one of my shots that did not make it into the book.

All are great, but the last one seemed to draw me in. It makes me wonder about all the lives that were forever changed... Sorry to ramble on so...

Graveyard and fence - my two favorites.

I just started gathering shots of colors and stuff to use on an upcoming post. It should be fun.

Like your shots. I am partial to the cemetery shots. Have a few of those myself from Germany, England and Luxembourg, not to mention Arlington.
