Shoe Tree
Minneapolis, MN - Tyfoid Kid - Monday, March 20th, 2006 : goo
[previous] :: [next]
As you cross the Washington Ave bridge between the East Bank and West Bank of The University of Minnesota you'll come across a tree with some odd shoe like growths in it.
Don't know why they get tossed there (when you graduate, lose your virginity . . ?)
I imagine the beautiful weather here keeps the attrition rate fairly constant (for the shoe laces, not the students) With over 40,000 students on this campus if even 1% did this the tree would probably die. When the tree has leaves you actually can't see that many.

Maybe they are trying to create rubber trees? Ewwww, just had a mental picture of a tree coated in used prophylactics...

i really like that first one. the lighting is perfect and it's a good composition of a difficult subject.
fred: shoes on power lines = someone died.

I know in my city, if you see shoes on a power line, it's marking a crack house... maybe the crack dealers camp here?
Hydro lines: 20th Sep 2008 - 04:04 GMT

Biking in NYC: Springtime Is Upon Us
Now that the comparatively balmy weather of spring is upon us, I've been riding my sleekly fast roadbike to work. You see, when I do the train/crosstown-bus combo, my commute takes damn near an hour. When I walk, it takes...
