These are not converging lines they are parallel lines.

The horizontal lines of the glass panes are parallel. The vertical lines of the panes converge towards the horizon.

They only appear to converge in reality they are parallel.

I appreciate your technical point about parallel lines but I believe that the appearance of convergence in my image - and many of the others - demonstrates a valid exploration of this month's theme.
