I just arrived in Sydney and couldn't help but notice the markings/lines on the runway. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera on me so I don't have a photo. Below is a photo from the Bahamas which gives an idea of what the lines look like.

The lines reminded me of something Ryan Gander talked about in the Loose Association text. He talked about trauma lines in hospitals then goes onto to talk about navigation lines and how they are used to help guide the public. These lines on the runways aren't for the public, but for pilots. Not all the lines on the runways are the same, some are broken, angled, or different from the regular yellow lines. Just that fact that I didn't know what each line meant is what got me interested.
