Linear Perspective
Linear perspective is a monocular cue where depth is perceived from the apparent convergence of two parallel lines in a two-dimensional image. A classic example is a photograph of a long, straight road, where the parallel edges of the road appear to meet at a point on the horizon.

Linear Perspective
You are looking at a photograph of a long, straight railroad track stretching into the distance. The two parallel rails appear to get closer together and eventually meet at a single point on the horizon. This visual effect, which helps you perceive the great distance of the track, is an example of which principle?
Interposition
Relative Size
Closeness of Images to the Horizon
