If you travel west along highway 36 from Red Bluff to Platina you can't help but notice this oak tree decorated with abandoned shoes. I've passed it many times making a delivery to the Wild Horse Ranch or the Russian Monastery or to other recipients in Platina. But this was the first time I decided to capture it on film. Just who started this or when it got started is unknown to me, but from the looks of some of the shoes it was more than a few years ago. It was getting late in the evening so the pictures came out a little dark. (Just click on the pictures for a larger view).
