Another shot made on my little ap, during sunday boredoom. The shoes are italian, so the country I chose. And a little tale for you :))
*************************************************
"Tango is, in the first place, an essentially danceable musical genre and, as such, it has a beat and a structure that make it different from other musical genres. Like any new music, it was influenced by the social and cultural context of the late nineteenth century, which accompanied a part of its evolution.The social frame where primitive tango was born -it is quite difficult to distinguish it as such, as far as beat and structure are concerned- is that of Buenos Aires in 1880, which had a population of 210.000 inhabitants and an important and incipient European immigration. In 1910, due to this phenomenon, the city grows up to 1.200.000 inhabitants and tango reaches its recognizable way. The development of tango in Europe began near the end of the second decade of the century, more precisely, after 1912 and blossomed a long time after the period we are talking of." Text by Ricardo García Blaya

Just wanted to introduce another of my hobbies. I don't really dance tango, not yet, but it's been taking care of :)
And just use your imagination to "fill up" my shoes this time. Or will I need to do the job, again ;))
Take care, Stef

You have a way with shoes...you give life to them. Exquisite framing here. And nice job setting it up. Of course the photo is good.

ooh i love the tango Stef! such a passionate dance... i've always wanted to learn! :-) again what great shoes and the presentaion of the still life is excellent.. the fact this is from bologna strikes a very strong chord for me dear... bologna is the city that led me to find the love of my life and.. also the last place i ever held him in my arms.... so it's full of memories for me... and it's funny that one thing i remember from the airport there the day i left was that the only shop they had was a shoe store... :-)

well.. got all emotional now... anyway, very cool shot sweetie ^_^

big hugs,
Ayda

This is so nice that the shoe manufacturer could use it as a advertisment of their shoes. Very nicely composed and presented.

hi stefania,
nice shoes,they're placed so nice as well.the shadows and the colors are excellent but I don't understand to address italy because of italian leather work:-)
regards
