Leading Lines: From Roads & Borders to Infinity – PictureCorrect: "You may have seen these two photographs being shared around the internet lately; they strike at something very profound in us, although we might not know exactly what it is. The Tuscan highway glows with lively warmth at a cool, meandering pace, while the Swedish/Norwegian border is cold and biting, but exhilarating. The images are completely different in tone and texture, yet we can all feel that they are the same – parallels of each other from flip sides of  the European continent.
