You're a really bad influence, Art. Now, I just might start planting shoes :-)
I like this shot.

Thanx for the comments!
Had a few minutes before work to take this shot- morning sun filtered thru trees gave that nice dappled light.
No great story for that gaping hole- just cheap leather that wore out before it's time.
Only go thu one pair a year, but I used to get more years out of a pair- wore out the soles, then planted them... now the sides go first.
The ones on the left are still wearable, on the right comfortable but drafty.

Like the light, and the shoes too. How many of these do you wear per year ?

I never really thought of how interesting shoes and especially boots can be until I was taking photos for this contest and looking at the entries. Boots seem to me to be very expressive footwear, and I like your example, nice lighting and shadows, that second boot from the right looks like it has a story to tell!

Yes, and this is starting to be a tradition!
Good collection of old friends, and good lighting too. endika

Really nice light in this one, the choice of placement on the bench was a good idea too.
I must say the second boot from the right looks like its ready for planting!
