I noticed this fence earlier in the week and thought it would be a good spot for a quirky photo. I went back today for some shots and the owner of the place came out to talk. It turns out his wife is a marathon runner and these are sneakers from some of her latest marathons. She is from New Zealand and is training for an upcoming marathon in Christchurch. I told him all about the 365 Project and all the beautiful New Zealand photos I've seen. Another positive aspect of this project . . . I meet so many interesting people when I am out taking photos.
A great story, I often end up spending more time talking to people than actually taking photos. One day I'll have to muster the courage to ask for a portrait shot :)
@merrelyn Thank you for commenting, Merrelyn! Yes, I spend a lot of time talking to people when I'm out shooting photos. I enjoy it so much! I learn something new from every encounter! :-)
@emrob Thanks so much for commenting, Mandy! The owners are in the process of remodeling the place and turning it into a Beer Garden/Food Truck Park. Very soon it will be a popular place for people in San Antonio and Leon Springs.
