It was the first time I had seen shoes strung up like that.

How strange. It reminds me of the next street where I grew up, there were a pair of shoes hanging over a telegraph wire for what seemed like 10 years.
Looks like a different kind of graffiti in this image. !!

I think they will always return and they will always be removed

It was a wonderful photo opportunity

I cannot comment about smells… I have no sense of smell

I have not seen that film but after looking it up, it sounds interesting

I suspected the graffiti in this area was down to students due to the local student accommodation. From what you say, they are probably responsible for the shoes too

On our arrival in Ljubljana the hotel receptionist gave us two recommended routes to walk into town. One route took us past the graffiti, shoes on high and the historical dragon bridge. So I think the shoes must be quite innocuous

Oh, I love this! How charming! I’m glad they have returned in spite of the attempts to remove them.

Oh yeah! I’d forgotten about that, that’s a great movie and a great reason! Thanks for the reminder – OK, let’s go with that, I like that best:)

Perhaps there aren’t just cultural reasons, but individual reasons, known only to the “thrower” – like casting a penny in a wishing well. But it’s interesting the different folklores that grew around them.

Well I’m gonna start a new reason – I’m gonna throw my shoes on a wire with a little sign on them that says “Go to Cherie’s Place,” as both advertisement for Cherie and invitation for people to come here and have people explain why they personally threw somebody’s shoes over a wire

(I hope this doesn’t post twice, I got a cookie error on the first attempt)

as long as they do not stink up that stretch of road or send smells wafting through the windows, CP! terrific photo opportunity and story though
