Objects travel toward the vanishing point of this corridor at nearly the speed of light. This is a glimpse of SLAC (The Stanford Linear Accelerator Center), likely the straightest 2 mile structure ever built. I had the privilege to visit this lab a couple of years ago. The accelerator is in a tube to the left hand side of the corridor, not visible in the photo. The control room is actually in a separate area. I superimposed a part of it on the structure of the corridor. I felt that was needed to better portray the activity at this historic place. The lab is a center of research in particle physics. Work here has resulted in 6 Nobel Prizes.

A most interesting and enlightening photo, Ted. You've got an excellent vanishing point with the colorful stanchions, but the monitor colors also add to the photo. Best of luck in the contest.

You got a real winner here Ted. That really fits the bill about a vanishing point. The corridor is absolutely endless looking.

Life's moments are sweet. I just want to capture all that I can of them.

A good perspective in the photo and post work merging of the layers. A creative image for the contest.
