30 Days of Biking - Look for the shoes!

There is a fun series of sculptures on the Midtown Greenway along my route. It consists of different pairs of shoes, cast in bronze, set on benches as if they were just left by their owners. Each pair is a different style, some are meant to look quite worn, others like they will be picked up shortly and used again. Sometimes they look quite real, adding to the sense the owners might return in a minute.


The pair in this picture looks kind of like my beat up hikers I wear in the winter. The phrase 'walk a mile' really applies in this thought provoking art piece.
