It was such a beautiful day, I decided to head for the river to get something with color. Once I spied this sneaker wedged in the rotting pier, I decided to go for texture rather than beauty. This section of the river is where homeless people are known to frequent at night. It made me sad to see this sneaker, as it looks like it belonged to a child. I didn't edit this photo to make it look this ugly. It looked this way on its own.
The last two lines of yours here cracked me up. And the first few made me sad....I feel so sorry for homeless people. This shoe sure has taken a beating...just the way people do from living outside 24-7. So sad.
@bdb3471@adeakinyede Thanks for your comments, Brian and Ade - I was a bit distressed to see a child's sneaker in that area - espcially with all the homeless people around - you'd hate to think it belonged to a homeless child who was living there.
@debbim@kbuehl@stresshead@pyrrhula@karens68@robinwarner Thanks, Deb, Kathy, Clare, Pyrrhula, Karen, and Robin. The sneaker was filled with textures - even moss growing on it! It still bothers me that it was a kid's sneaker. I found this in a really terrible area of town - not safe at all
@judithg Yes, Judith - Nature has reclaimed the sneaker - even covering it with moss! And, no, I can't convince myself it was an adult's sneaker - it definitely belonged to a child! :(
