Default Can't see the Forest for the Shoes...

Came across this in my travels last week. I was near Orangeville, Ontario and did a double take when I spotted all the footwear.

I stopped the car, took my camera out and walked back for a closer look. Not sure what the significance is, but makes for an interesting photo.

This is sooo cool! It reminds me of a scene out of the movie "Big Fish". It was sure worth getting a 2nd look, cause it made for an excellent photo! TFS

That'll certainly make you do a double-take! Very interesting!

That is a crazy shot. Being Canadian myself, I can't help but see this as typical Canadian humour...Way out there!

Nice to hear from a fellow Canadian. I will be out there for the Olympic Games... can't wait.

The "shoes" were kind of weird... I wonder if it's a similar thing to the shoes you see on the power lines?

i'll second that..the movie Big Fish is one of my favorites and every scene is such a treat..the shoes were among the humourous part of the movie..hmmn..Tim Burton really has a way to provoke one's thought..tnx for sharing..
