Picture of the Week #135 "Magritte's Shoes"

Picture of the Week #135 "Magritte's Shoes" Ramatuelle, France 1980 Signed and Stamped

Coming upon these worker's shoes in the forests of Ramatuelle in the South of France had reminded me of the great Surrealist painter Rene Magritte's work. There is something ominous about the chalky white tips that almost morph into toes. I have no idea whose shoes these were and why they would be sitting so meticulously side by side. Perhaps who ever they belonged to had finished clearing the hillside and forgot to take them. Or was it something else?
