There's a convention that pictures are pushed using a 4:3 or 3:4 aspect ratio and those are known as landscape and portrait formats ... but I've taken a few pictures over the last few days that seem to lend themselves naturally to the 2:1 ratio



You might almost call this a "superlandscape" view of the two Forth Bridges - and there's more Forth Bridge Pictures of a more conventional look on our site too.

Signage is another area where "letterbox" format can be appropriate ...



This is a sign in the centre of Carlisle, taken last weekend ...
