Sky Watch Sneakers

I hope those ain't your boots hanging up there :P

Merry Christmas!!!

I think it's a great idea to photograph the same thing over and over again.

What a clever way to photo sneakers! Great shots!

Whos are they???
Brill post.

Great pictures! Merry Christmas!

Very interesting shots! In the second shot, the sneakers almost look like little birds huddling beneath the lamp post for protection from the snow!

Hi Leora, I have seen several "shoe trees" in my time but never a "shoe lamp." Very interesting. I hope you are enjoying a wonderful Hanukkah. Have a great New Year!

Very nice photo! Happy holidays and brilliant new photo-year from Norway :o)

Hallo Leora,
I saw a bicycle hanging this way before but never shoes, hope they pulled them off right in time (-:
Wunderful idea for SWF
Hartmut

Great and good fun shots.

Great photos. I love the added shoes. LOL

Pretty sneaky! Are all lamppost decorated in like manner in your town? Woul be a great ad for a marathin. LOL

I've always been puzzled by shoes hanging . . . you got quite a variety! In our area shoes over phone lines means drug activity. Makes me a bit nervous!

nice comparison of skies. merry christmas!

i like the idea of photographing things in different lights, seasons and weather...it makes for creative and interesting results.
happy holidays from botetourt county virginia.

I'm always losing shoes myself, so I understand the desire to put them near a lighted street lamp, and up high, where they cannot be easily lost.

Thanks for visiting me! :)

I love the pics of the shoes...i remember watching Sesame street when i was a kid, and the opening scene would have shoes hanging from a street light.

Those are great photos, i love the shoes hanging from the posts. We have seen shoes in trees before, also on some elect wires.

i wonder why there are sneakers. :)
well, nice one! :)

This is hilarious!! Now who in his right mind puts his shoes on a lamp post? And why? Happy Hannukah Leora!

Someone has a sense of humor! And you captured it! That's life! Love it!

If Monet were alive he'd have painted these from 50 different angles. These turn up on power lines around here all the time and I've never quite figured out how or why. Apparently it's a nationwide phenomenon though. Perhaps the perpetrators just like to make people wonder how they got there.

Mojo, interesting that you mention Monet. I was thinking about his haystacks as I put this post together.

This is something you might not want to know...but here in New Mexico, sneakers on a wire or pole are gang signs - something about marking their turf.

interesting!

I've seen that around here too....

Well well. Certainly a novel subject to photograph. I'd like to know who has had the guts and weird idea to climb up there to hang two pairs of sneakers up on the lamp. A lot of clothing items can be found all over the place here too but have never seen shoes hanging from lamps before. Usually it seems to be just the one sneaker or glove or even a pair of trousers that are found lying around.
Anyway an amusing subject and different from the rest of SWF I'm sure.

Leora: Cool name and the picture is precious. Thanks for the neat SWF.

I love these photos! The comparison and contrasting are fantastic! Great eye, beautiful captures.
