A great image of the shoes hanging from the power line. There are a pair hanging that I see occasionally and I have always thought about stopping and taking a picture.

Don’t you wonder what the story is behind this, Sherri! Hopefully they weren’t someone’s favorite shoes! Great quote from Holmes to go with this image.

The shoes hanging from the power line is common in many places. I understood that this marked areas, “territories” of gangs or drug dealers. But I do’nt know.

Shoes tossing (or Shoefiti) would be an art of street which in France disparait, the employees of the city remove them as fast as possible. As for the photo sheit is simple and nicely treated, Phil

i always loved seeing shoes on a wire, i wondered about them, until i heard that the owners of the shoes had become victims of a heinous crime. i still love this shot tho!
