Which one makes the better square?
There’s a cycle path from Tavira to neighbouring Cabanas, and this bridge spans the narrow River Almargem along the way. It struck me as perfect, in the original, for Jude’s #2020PhotoChallenge on converging lines. But it works as squares too, don’t you think? Up and over the Top! We’ll be passing this way on my Monday walk. Meanwhile, have you got Six Words to shed a little light for Debbie?

For leading lines, definitely the second one. The lines are more pronounced. But I prefer you first ones. The bridge pulls me into the clouds which are so interesting.

Hi Jo !
I rather like the perspective of the second picture .. the sense of climbing onwards and upwards 😉

I like the first one best too. But then the one where the footbridge features does give you a sense of being on the bridge. Interesting stuff – visual perception. Happy weekend, Jo.
