Around here is where I found the wall of graffiti, the resistant flowers and, of course, one dirty finger. I think the shoes hanging from the wire make a nice touch.

Do people do that to avoid finding scorpions in their shoes when they wake up in the morning ? Good technique. I think I'd prefer put it on a stick. Nice shot. This place looks abandonned. It gives a sadness feeling.

what did they used to play at the old stadium? Perhaps they played shoe toss - first one to get their shoe on the wire got their head lopped off! These shoes must have been from some kids trying to re-live the glory days.

Some photographers do weird things like putting shoes in wires just to make their ptotographs look different. That's not being a good person, Aaron!

It's reminds me of Leslie's shot with shoes

So this is also Auckland. Until now I thought Auckland has only bright, modern, clean faces ... Interesting shot

I already miss it! We really had a wonderful time. Thanks for everything!

I wonder if small children had to scale the telephone wire, risking their lives for this shot...hmmm
