Shoes on a Line - Part Two

I wanted to call this post "shoes on a line-the return!" but that would imply that they have returned to the same spot as last year's apparition.  These are in the same neighbourhood though, I saw them as I was biking and u-turned to take a snap.  What is it about these that are so captivating?

Shoes on a Line

What is it about tossing a pair of Converse (or equivalent sneak) on an electrical line (or equivalent) so compelling to do and then to photograph? The world wide web offered some answers here and here.  How about a shoe tree? Crazy!!

Despite what meaning you may derive from it, they are pretty intriguing to look at.
