Shoes On A Wire
I don't know what the deal with shoes thrown over a powerline is. I see them all over the place. These three were on a wire behind Skipper's Smokehouse in Tampa. When I've worn out a pair of shoes, I just throw them away, not up in the air. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong.
I don't think I've ever seen that many in one place at once. There are all kinds of rumors as to the meaning, but I don't know for sure. I snapped this shot in the park behind the Fruitville Library -- in the middle of nowhere: http://srqjet.blogspot.com/2010/10/up-upand-stuck.html
ReplyDeletemy first thought was: those could be (snow ski) CHAIR LIFTS!
ReplyDeleteCome on, Uncreative. Where would I shoot a chair lift in Florida? Especially this time of year. :)
ReplyDeleteActually, the shoes are a rememberance of the fallen person.
ReplyDeleteI was watching a documentary on The New Orleans 9th ward recently and they explained the shoes represent a Fallen Comrad. They are Usually found in Urban-Impoverished neighborhoods.
