  2. It seems to be an act all over the world to hang shoes on wires.

  3. I'm glad all those kids made it out of their shoes after they got caught up there.

  4. Huh? I have to admit, my confusion about those shoes is making me laugh a little!

  5. I've never seen a whole cluster of shoes on the wire before.

  6. You don't usually see them all bunched up like that...

  7. That is an end-of-school year tradition in Philadelphia. Kids would throw their gym sneakers over the wires on their way home from school the last day. The sneakers look like they're hanging on a phone trunk line as opposed to those 13,200 volt electrical distribution lines above.

  8. Great photo with the pattern of wires and cluster of shoes. Never understood why people do this with old shoes.

  10. I saw shoes hanging on a wire in a Dutch city recently. Must be a popular thing to do..

  11. Gotta wonder why?!? Great photo though with all the lines.

  12. That's a whole lot of shoes. There's an urban legend about that being a sign of a local drug dealer, which of course doesn't make sense, since it would lead police inevitably to the door.

  15. I have seen a few occasionally but it never made any sense to me.

  16. I saw a tree full like this in the Arizona desert. I like the way you've caught these.

  17. There are some well known desert "shoe trees" out here in my neck of the woods. I think the primary contributors are kids heading out to the Colorado River on spring break.
