Lines can be used to direct the viewer's attention to a subject. The line may not be obvious, but it has to lead the viewer's eyes to where it is desired, if that is the intention. Lines themselves can be the theme of the picture.
Curves are just a subset of lines. For example, a winding road that leads away from the view, to a small house at the far end.
Here, the rope that holds the hot air balloon directs the viewer's eyes to the balloon, making it the main subject even though it's not occupying an obvious region of the picture. The subject is not that interesting by itself, so it helps that the sun rays are coming through the mountains in the background.
