Lens-Artists PC: Feet without shoes

Rarely but it happens that I have two posts for one challenge. On Tuesday feet were shoed, today they are shoeless.

I remember when Sandy had her hands and feet challenge and a question formed in my mind: In a temple where you are to walk barefoot, is it feasible to do it in shoes if you have a medical condition due to which you cannot walk barefoot (for long)? I suppose it’s not recommended.

I busted my feet a few years ago on a solo photo walk in Ljubljana, wearing flat sandals, walking too fast for too long in the heat, and the next day I was not able to stand, on either foot. It’s something similar to plantar fasciitis. With time and two injections and some therapy sessions and silicon pads it got better but I’m still hurting when I start to walk and if I walk for too long.

Walking barefoot hurts the most, so here are some memories of happy carefree barefoot fun, mine and other people’s, from previous years. And bestia’s. And Barbie’s.

• 

  Let’s start with the green shoes off. In the sea.

• 

  In the sand.

• 

  On the edge.

• 

  Then bestia came along.

• 

  So small and on the beach already.

• 

  He was half a year old here and I went to swim in October.

• 

  Sister calling bestia. This house is now a fancy club.

• 

  Also in October. Mom is surprised. Cold or warm?

• 

  A rare sighting of the native on the beach.

• 

  My extended pack.

• 

  Another purple piece of clothing.

• 

  Lake Bolsena. Nice and warm.

• 

  Bestia found some mud on the Slovenian coast.

• 

  Grandma’s sofa in Maribor. She would not approve.

• 

  Boštjan Drinovec: Dancing Boy, 2010. Spotted in Maribor

• 

  Bestia + Barbie in the Roman garden. She fell from the sky naked.

• 

  Mother’s art, father’s bread, my happy feet. In Piran

• 

  Winnie-the-Pooh. In Slovenian he is Pu.

• 

  My daily view from the computer. Feet happily up.

• 

  Sharing the towel with bestia in Terme di Saturnia…

• 

  … where the water has almost 40 degrees.

• 

  This feels good.
