The lines in this photograph were created by using a telephoto lens, and taking a viewpoint more or less at eye-level with the flowers. The distance between the rows of flowers has been suppressed in this image, so that the rows look like horizontal lines.
This photograph again uses a telephoto lens to reduce the impression of distance between the rails of the bicycle rack, and to emphasise the horizontal lines.
This photograph shows a row of posters attached in a horizontal row along some railings. The line of the posters is reflected in the line of shrubs and the top of the wall at the bottom of the frame.
This image shows a display of cakes on a market stall. The cakes have been arranged in steps which are rendered as lines in the two dimensions of a photograph; the stripe of the red background, and the clothes laid out along the tops of the cake boxes emphasise the horizontal lines.
The vertical lines in this picture were achieved by using a wide aperture and leaning against the wall to focus on the black iron drain pipe. The image was cropped so that the white wall and green door also look like vertical stripes.
This is a photograph of some metal railings; I've gone in quite close to obscure the objects (a bicyle and boat) behind them, and made sure that the outside rails line up with the edge of the frame to emphasise the vertical lines.
I stood on a bridge overlooking the river to take this photograph, which has rendered the punt and particularly the punt pole as vertical lines in the frame.
For this photograph again I've used a telephoto lens to place the black line (which is a hand rail) against the wall; I would have preferred to have the line a little further towards the centre of the frame, to really draw attention to it.
