I was drawn to this image of train tracks because it is so complex and yet it has some organization to it. The metal tracks weave over each other, but in the same general direction; so even though there are a great number of lines, they all have the same direction. The wooden tracks under the metal lines are also very organized because they are all in the same direction, with even spacing, yet they appear somewhat chaotic because there are so many of them and they are separated by the metal lines. It is interesting that my eye is drawn to the intersection of the metal tracks because it is not the most dense or complex area of the picture yet the bold metal lines intersecting draws in your attention. Next, the lines draw your attention to the top of the page, in the distance of the picture, where the lines seem to come together in some concentrated chaos. The use of lines curving in the same direction in this image draws your attention along the path of the lines. The line's smooth, fluid feeling guides your eyes across the page. It is easy to take from this image, greater understanding of how bold lines and intersecting lines can draw your attention and how fluid lines that move together will draw your attention across the page.
