Washed Ashore – Flotsam Shoes

An assortment of summer flip-flop sandals, trainer shoes, sturdy lace-ups, and a yellow wellington boot – all washed up onto the strand-lines at Rhossili and Whiteford on the Gower Peninsula in Christmas week 2013.

Something rather poignant about the single shoes… like the lone shoes on the side of roads… RH

At least the shoes were empty (save some sand or feathers) – sometimes people have found feet in them! Also there are often pairs that have been temporarily separated; the yellow wellington boot, for example, was one of a pair.
