The photograph below is one that I took at the Badshahi mosque in Lahore, Pakistan. I never really noticed it before but I think this is a perfect example of linear perspective. The ceilings of each room in the Badshahi mosque are dome-like, so this picture does not have those characteristic slanted lines into each corner of the picture where the walls meet the ceiling (see picture to the right). Instead we have the top of the curve coming to each corner. The repetition of the doorways getting smaller and smaller helps create the image of deep space also, along with the distinct vanishing point that appears almost at the middle of the page.
