there is a "Shoe tree" in this area that, besides thrown into it, has shoes nailed to it. The "history" of the tree is that it all started from some "satanic" rituals, or other non-christian activity. And the shoes were all from sacrifice victims. Nice urban....errrrrrr....rural legend. Mostly it is from where teenagers meet up with each other and continue to do it. The damn thing has been struck by lightning a few times and burned. SPOOKY!!!
This guy has a small picture of it. Shoe Tree, but has a very annoying tune playing, so do a quick find will get you to it faster. (C: WIsh I would of thought of that for this challenge. Stupid brain!

Actually, that is more just coincidence due to the environment. Usually these sorts of things go on in the same areas. I mean, think about it, if you see a shoe hanging somewhere in the slums and you try to go buy drugs, you still don't know WHO to go to to buy drugs from, and you might end up getting mugged! The signs for a drug dealer are usually clearly visible distinctly on that person by the way they are wearing their clothes or body language, etc. and not by signs in the area. Murder victim's shoes are often hung, and strangely, never taken down as evidence. |

Hey, that's not funny! I drank a cup of that stuff when I was three, and had to get my stomach pumped!!! ;-)
Just kidding. I mean, about the being offended part. I really did drink a cup of it when I was a kid - I had asked for a cup of water, and found the cup of tourpentine instead. It's always a source of laughs at family get-togethers. |

After taking a glance through the other entries I don't feel quite so bad about having no idea what to enter for this - nobody else did either, it appears. :->

Eloise, you said, "... I don't feel quite so bad about having no idea what to enter for this - nobody else did either, it appears". Well, I actually knew exactly what to do, I did it, and executed it exactly as I saw it in my plan. But, boohoo boohoo, it's doing poorly.
Maybe it will pick-up.

Whoo hoo, my score finally made it over 6 after hovering below for a couple of days. I'm not deluded in thinking it will remain above 6 though. :)

Anyone else care to share their scores? I'm just pumped cause this is well above average for me.

that's really good! alot of people never break 6.
usually thought the winning pics are in the 7 range, but the drop off after like the top 4 or 5 shots is usually really rapid.

That's awesome especially for a first entry. My first entry was 3.761. I must admit that I didn't take it that seriously at the time. Sort of embarassing now but I believe I've come a ways since then.
