Why?

Cairns has a gorgeous Esplanade with wide walkways, bikeways, picnic areas, rainforest trees and artificial lagoons. However, there is no disguising the fact that it has no beach - just mudflats. So the question is - why have ladders down onto the mudflats??

So funny Rob! Nice picture. Fav

[Peter H]

Excellent shot, well thought out.

[Joan Robillard]

Safety - if a fire broke out you might need to get off asap. Neat shoes..

[Lastrami]

Great perspective! And beautiful shoes :)

[Casablanca]

Why indeed! This one made me go dizzy too!!

[FBailey]

Like the shoes! I was going to say 'don't jump' then I read it was a ladder!

[Jacqueline]

The don’t jump comment from Felicity was the first thing on my mind too, great shoes and capture!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Is this supposed to be like one of those "Which came first- the chicken or the egg?" questions? hehe Ditto on all the shoe comments!

[Denise Wood]

The best question this week :)

Nice shot

[pcryer]

Very clever!

[Denise (lyndemc)]

Maybe, if someone happened to fall off the walkway, they'd be glad there was a ladder up out of the mud. :).

Mud flats can be fun if you don't sink in!

For your get pushed challenge this week, Try a frame within a frame shot. If that is too easy , try adding an non-centered subject in the smallest frame, or a frame within a frame within a frame!

Wishful thinking. Great point of view. Has a hidden story in there somewhere.

[Marnie]

Yuck, not keen on mudflats.

[Rob Z]

@teriyakih Sounds great - I'll give it a go! Cheers Rob.

[Dione Giorgio]

Curious isn't it? Maybe i"m going crazy but I see a sort of face in the mud with two eyes and a nose going down to where the ladder ends. Lovely pair of shoes too.

[Rob Z]

Lol - I had to thank you all for your appreciation of my crazy shoes. I'm going to show your comments to my 2 daughters - they are always saying how ugly they are!! Offspring sometimes know nothing!! :)

No I think the shoes are Uber smart !Love the point of view and thoughts behind this shot !

[Lesley]

You certainly wouldn't go down the ladder and spoil those lovely shoes!
