A short geography lesson.
The 42nd parallel passes through Essex County, Ontario, Canada as well as northern California, the French Riviera and Rome.
The county is flat as a pancake.
This is for requirement #2 No vertical vanishing point. I used these settings: f22 1/15 ISO100. I used the aperture f22 because I wanted everything to be sharp. I used the shutter speed 1/15 in order to properly expose the photo. I didn't need to do much in Photoshop but I did want to lighten the shadows and brighten the highlights so I adjusted the curves, exposure, and brought out the highlights.
While in the Kaiser Permanente waiting room I noticed the parallel lines of the table and chairs.

These Fallow bucks aren't browsing, they're engaged in a stereotyped behaviour (involving neck-straining and head turning) that preceded parallel walking and ultimately clashing.
This was by far the most fun I have ever had taking pictures at a wedding. I have known the groom and his best man for about 7 years. The girl on the far left plays 7 sports and it shows, the little guy did pretty good too.
The Western Ghats or Sahyadri are a mountain range that runs almost parallel to the western coast of the Indian peninsula, located entirely in India. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the eight "hottest hotspots" of biological diversity in the world. It is sometimes called the Great Escarpment of India. The range runs north to south along the western edge of the Deccan Plateau, and separates the plateau from a narrow coastal plain, called Konkan, along the Arabian Sea. A total of thirty nine properties including national parks, wildlife sanctuaries and reserve forests were designated as world heritage sites - twenty in Kerala, ten in Karnataka, five in Tamil Nadu and four in Maharashtra.
The range starts near the border of Gujarat and Maharashtra, south of the Tapti river, and runs approximately 1,600 km through the states of Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu ending at Kanyakumari, at the southern tip of India. These hills cover 160,000 km2 and form the catchment area for complex riverine drainage systems that drain almost 40% of India. The Western Ghats block southwest monsoon winds from reaching the Deccan Plateau. The average elevation is around 1,200 m.
The area is one of the world's ten "Hottest biodiversity hotspots" and has over 7,402 species of flowering plants, 1814 species of non-flowering plants, 139 mammal species, 508 bird species, 179 amphibian species, 6000 insects species and 290 freshwater fish species; it is likely that many undiscovered species live in the Western Ghats. At least 325 globally threatened species occur in the Western Ghats.
GEOLOGY
The Western Ghats are the mountainous faulted and eroded edge of the Deccan Plateau. Geologic evidence indicates that they were formed during the break-up of the supercontinent of Gondwana some 150 million years ago. Geophysical evidence indicates that the west coast of India came into being somewhere around 100 to 80 mya after it broke away from Madagascar. After the break-up, the western coast of India would have appeared as an abrupt cliff some 1,000 m in elevation.
Basalt is the predominant rock found in the hills reaching a thickness of 3 km. Other rock types found are charnockites, granite gneiss, khondalites, leptynites, metamorphic gneisses with detached occurrences of crystalline limestone, iron ore, dolerites and anorthosites. Residual laterite and bauxite ores are also found in the southern hills.
MOUNTAIN RANGES
The Western Ghats extend from the Satpura Range in the north, go south past Maharashtra, Goa, through Karnataka and into Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Major gaps in the range are the Goa Gap, between the Maharashtra and Karnataka sections, and the Palghat Gap on the Tamil Nadu and Kerala border between the Nilgiri Hills and the Anaimalai Hills.
The mountains intercept the rain-bearing westerly monsoon winds, and are consequently an area of high rainfall, particularly on their western side. The dense forests also contribute to the precipitation of the area by acting as a substrate for condensation of moist rising orographic winds from the sea, and releasing much of the moisture back into the air via transpiration, allowing it to later condense and fall again as rain.
The northern portion of the narrow coastal plain between the Western Ghats and the Arabian Sea is known as the Konkan Coast or simply Konkan, the central portion is called Kanara and the southern portion is called Malabar region or the Malabar Coast. The foothill region east of the Ghats in Maharashtra is known as Desh, while the eastern foothills of the central Karnataka state is known as Malenadu. The largest city within the mountains is the city of Pune (Poona), in the Desh region on the eastern edge of the range. The Biligirirangan Hills lie at the confluence of the Western and Eastern Ghats.
SAHYADHRIS
The major hill range starting from the north is the Sahyadhri (the benevolent mountains) range. This range is home to many hill stations, including Matheran, Lonavala-Khandala, Mahabaleshwar, Panchgani, Amboli Ghat, Kudremukh and Kodagu. The range is known as Sahyadri in Maharashtra and Karnataka and as Sahya Parvatam in Kerala.
NILGIRIS
The Nilgiri mountains are in southwestern Tamil Nadu and are home to the town of Ooty. The Bili giri rangana Betta southeast of Mysore in Karnataka, meet the Shevaroys (Servarayan range) and Tirumala range farther east, linking the Western Ghats to the Eastern Ghats.
ANAIMALAI HILLS
South of the Palghat Gap are the Anaimalai Hills, located in western Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Smaller ranges are further south, including the Cardamom Hills.
In the southern part of the range is Anamudi peak 2,695 metres in Kerala the highest peak in Western Ghats. Chembra Peak 2,100 metres, Banasura Peak 2,073 metres, Vellarimala 2,200 metres and Agasthya mala 1,868 metres are also in Kerala. Doddabetta in the Nilgiri Hills is 2,637 metres. Mullayanagiri is the highest peak in Karnataka 1,950 metres. The Western Ghats in Kerala and Tamil Nadu is home to many tea and coffee plantations.

Had my camera hanging from the neckstrap secured by a fanny pack in front of me while riding my bike. I was watching this egret, and took a photo from a distance, then biked past it... it decided it had enough, and started to take off, I managed to get some snapshots. Mr. Bird wasn't really in focus, but the ripples were, and looked like a good fit for the "Parallel Lines" weekly assignment, so here it is :D
Post-processing: Cropped to square. Kept the vignetting on the left, which came from edge of the UV filter on the lens... it becomes more apparent past 150mm, and I had this at 170mm. I kinda like the effect.

Dennis Eagle customers and prospects take a close look at the HybriDrive(R) parallel system that has recently been installed on one of their refuse vehicles.
This is my first photo when I went to Balboa Park that morning. This one was at the back of the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center.
take a closer lookand you will see that i have rotated the shot and the reflection is at the top meaning the real world is the reflection, if you get my drift .

Rouses Point is a village in Clinton County, New York, United States, along the 45th parallel. The population was 2,209 at the 2010 census. The village is named after Jacques Roux, a French Canadian soldier who fought alongside the Americans during their war for independence. The village is on the western shore of Lake Champlain at the source of the Richelieu River. Also located in the northeastern corner of the town of Champlain, it is north of the city of Plattsburgh and less than one mile south of the Canada–United States border.
Rouses Point was first settled around 1783 by Canadian and Nova Scotian refugees who were granted tracts of land in reward for their services during the American Revolution. Steamboats were a booming business on this part of the lake; the second commercial steamboat in the world was launched on Lake Champlain, with Rouses Point as its first port-of-call. Steamboat traffic continued on the lake for the next 100 years, until displaced by the railroad.
Edward Thurber built the first frame house in 1818. Legend has it that President James Monroe stayed there. By 1860, Rouses Point had a variety of shops and tradespeople such as loggers, bakers, tailors, carpenters, blacksmiths, prostitutes, and hatters. Its location on the Canada–U.S. border made it an important stop on the Underground Railroad, through which many African American slaves escaped to freedom.
Rouses Point became an incorporated village in 1877, and grew to a population of over 2,000 by 1892. The Delaware and Hudson Railway opened a station, connecting the village to New York City and Montreal.
During World War II, the community was the scene of substantial shipments of war materials to points north by water and rail.
Today, the lake at Rouses Point has three marinas filled with pleasure craft.
Rouses Point is a port of entry from Canada and is close to the Canada–United States border with Quebec. The village is on the western shore of Lake Champlain.
The village is located by the U.S. Route 2 and U.S. Route 11 intersection. U.S. 2 leads east across the Rouses Point Bridge into Vermont. New York State Route 9B enters the village from the south, and New York State Route 276 enters the village from the northwest.
Rouses Point's Amtrak station plays an important role in the final episode of The Americans, but the scene was not recorded there.

There was a steepness in the darkness
I wanted to cut it like a comet crash
Hit the city, where you had echoed from a flash
Made it all seem not so bad
'Cause we were parallel lines running through the whole sky
And even in the low light, we were aligned
'Cause we were parallel lines, separate the whole time
But even in the divide, you and I
Don't dare repeat this
But when I lay alone that night
I let the city see me cry
And in my weakness
I wish you hadn't closed your eyes
Crossed the city, open mine
'Cause we were parallel lines, running through the whole sky
And even in the low light, we were aligned
'Cause we were parallel lines, separate the whole time
But even in the divide, you and I
I watched you comb your hands through the light
Every detail spilled from your outline
All at once you filled my eyes
And I could see it all for the first time
'Cause we were parallel lines running through the whole sky
(The whole sky)
And even in the low light, we were aligned
(We were aligned)
'Cause we were parallel lines, separate the whole time
(Whole time)
And even in the divide, you and I

Wish I'd had a real camera with me; I just marvel at these kinds of things.
