J'ai mis un instant avant de comprendre ! J'adore le clin d'oeil (et de pied). Et la beauté des lignes comme l'élégance de ton Noir & Blanc... Bonne journée*

Ah yes. A familiar scene outside many schools. Nicely silhouetted against a lovely sky.

Used to see this in Madison, Wisconsin all the time. Haven't seen it since I moved away. Thanks for posting, gave me a chuckle.

Pierre from Horten, Norway

Cette "touffe" d'arbre en bas de la photo rattache l'image à la terre. Parfait !

A really nicely seen image. The B&W is what makes this work.

I never could photograph this phenomenon and make it look nice. Well done.

Sean from Champaign, United States

Fantastic framing with this shot. Really like the silhouettes of the hanging shoes and the movement of the wispy clouds.

bluechameleon from Vancouver, Canada

It's the perfect title! The clouds are so dramatic and wispy at the same time. You know, I always wondered why people did this, throwing shoes up into the wires.

Laurie from New Jersey, United States

Well done! Love the tones in the sky. The silhouette of the shoes is wonderful.

I've been going through some of your archives and I really like your work. Very nice!

Très cocasse et original ! ;-)

Doum from Saint-Alexandre d'Iberville, Canada

Graphiquement interessant comme image. Je sais que c'est un jeu ces lancés, mais j'ai déjà ouïe dire que ça concerne des actes violent commis par des gangs de rue, genre d'objet de conquête. J'ai "bookmarqué" ton photoblogue, de belles choses y sont présente.

Roberta from Rocky Mountain House, Canada

I heard once that shoes on a wire like that are related to gangs. Like a marker or flag or something. If that's really the case there must be a lot of gang activities in that neighborhood!

Humoristic picture. Nice in silhouettes.

Les funambules ne devraient pas nouer leurs chaussures entre elles :)

Pixim from Nice, France

Un très beau N&B au service d'une image ironique et fantastique, dans mon imaginaire de saison, je vois des télésièges à la montagne... Le ciel est de toute splendeur, utilisé avec délicatesse tout en lui donnant un aspect dramatique Bravo ;)
