Walkin' on top of the World (or at least the Midwest...)

I thought this one was fun - just outside of the London City Hall there was a large map of the world that was roped off and there was a place where you could leave your shoes and walk all over the map (I didn't take that journey ... I just stood outside and snapped lots of shots!) If you're interested, I have a few more cute ones ... but this was definitely my favorite. Her left big toe is directly on top of my hometown. :-) Thoughts?

Any comments or ratings are appreciated!! :-)

i love this!! so cute. perfect to focus interest on the feet. and her big toe rests on your home town! i'd love to see more of these.

OH NO!!! I hope he didn't crush the one stoplight or there may be an car accident or two! DISASTER!!!!

 

I really like this picture, the socks are FABULOUS! Is this someone you know? I thought maybe it was a nephew until I saw it was in London. Footy pjs would be fun too, or the rainbow socks that have the individual slots for your toes!!!

This is very original, Lou Ann, at least for me. Beautifully done.

Linda - you asked for it, you got it ... several other images from that scene follow. :-)

 

Matt - shut up. ;-) You won't answer my e-mail ... yet you'll abuse my hometown here online. Let's see, Cheektowaga has a population of 95,000 ... Ft. Collins has a population of about 130,000 ... I would say that they're towns of comprable size. Whatever. ;-)

 

Anyway - no, this is not someone I know. I visited London on my own. I only wish my nephews were there with me ... maybe when they're older......

My 2nd favorite image from this set....

It was difficult to isolate one particular person or pair of feet for a good image....

I can't ignore my European friends!! :-)

This little guy was a BLAST to watch... trying to stay on land...

This little Yankees fan was walking across Africa....

Another fun view of Europe...

Interesting. The red socks make the shot.

I Love this! The red socks do make the shot, but all of them are fun! I want my photo taken on a huge map!!! This is great. I am following Howard around tonight and I am just laughing...

Definitely fun & cute. The 1st thought from the thumbnail is: wow, she is on top of the world, walking to wherever whe wants. Brilliant capture.

Seems intricately done. I'm surprised they allow the public to step on it. The organisers are clever to have intereaction here. Makes it more interestly. Nice one Lou Ann.

Alec - it was part of a presentation of photographs of aerial photography being displayed around the City Hall. The point of the map, besides showing the places where the photos were taken around the world was to get the public involved in the exhibit. It was quite a spectacular undertaking!

Lou Ann, great serries, and fun for sure, I would say that all of them are well exposed and transfer very well the atmospher and the nice experience of the people "walking on the world".

Definitely a great series.

That's one way to see the world! What a great experience for these kids...tactile and visual.

Great idea, Lou Ann! I wondered why I keep seeing huge feet in the sky. I haven't seen this map so it must be fairly recent - looks fun for kids (and educational too!) Nicely composed too with Florida balancing the feet...

You made me smile - I was just stroling through the street images and came up to yours - have a look to this http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=3322513 was made in Vienna. Regards Axel

This is a delightful image! Looks as if your colorfully-footed subject could make it to New Orleans in one quick step. Or to Buffalo with one sideways hop. That white-socked foot in the Gulf must have sent New Orleans folks running for high ground. Talk about having a world-view! Nicely seen. All the best...Bill 6/6
