Wonderful monochrome shot.
I was looking and looking until I moved the page to see what they were, I would not have known...like your thinking here. Safety!
That'sgreat, you will never fall on ice with this thing under your shoe!
Looks useful, a beautiful photo.
It is a pity Met Eireann did not deliver the promised snow today.
Nevertheless , a good choice though recently flippers might be in order.
You are so good at making interesting photographs from every day objects.
Great help in these icy days,- I should have used mine, today... I felt!
:)
I love these forms, excellent photo in B / W!
lovely details.
Visiting from BLACK AND WHITE WEEKEND.
FRANKLY MY DEAR
Would hate to have you step on my toe wearing those...but you definitely will be steady Eddie on the slippery stuff.
I've got snow - come on over!!
Great shot.
Looks good in B&W.
Good for photos, too:)
Have a great weekend!
Great how something so ordinary can look so good!
I hope that you will have a wonderful winter and you will be safe with your new gear!
Great shot in B&W! Wonderful details!
Another very creative BW shot!
Happy Weekend to you,
artmusedog and carol
My stepmom haas those. Says they are wonderful. Great detailed shot.
Good one!
I could have use of them right now. We have thin slippery ice on walkways and streets :(
Nice image
They photograph beautifully in black and white… heres to staying up on icy surfaces!
I love grips and wear them every day in the winter. Nice shot! :)
