Wonderful.
Where did you find goals with the nets still on them?

I feel like I am looking up!
Nice perspective.

Thanks Darr. I used the top of my foot as a tripod with a cable release in an attempt to get the camera low to the ground.
I think it's a rare sight to see hoops with their nets in public spaces too.

One-room schoolhouse in Iowa, Chickasaw County. I was going for a closer view but, just as I was sliding my metal tripod through the fence, I noticed that it was electrified. 500c/m, 80mm, FP4.

Hey John,
That is at the Myron B. Hodge City Park & Campground, Sopchoppy, FL.
Nestled on the banks of the Sopchoppy River, it is a 35-acre park with a beautiful setting for camping if you ever get down this way again.
Not far from the Forgotten Coast, just down the road a few more miles.
Thanks!

Well, Tuco,
That's some next-level photography innovation right there!
Who needs a fancy tripod when you've got a trusty foot-pod?
It's the latest trend in avant-garde photography: "Sole-ful Composition." 😄
Lovely image and great footwork!

The basketball hoops with nets, which I know very little about (baseball fan), are located in Sopchoppy, FL.
At the Myron B. Hodge City Park & Campground, which to me is misleading because it is a *very* small town!
Best to you!

Thank goodness you did notice!!
I love checking out places like you have in your incredibly meaningful image.
Just think about all the lessons, stories, and friendships that must have blossomed in that tiny corner of the world!
Great photo!

On a whim, I threw my Holga in a camera bag before heading out on a recent trip. Sometimes it's fun taking pictures with no expectations. :-)

Darr: Thanks for your comments. Your last two from Sopchoppy (I've got to Google that) were very interesting too.

Austin: The Holga was perfect for the photo of Stephen - really made the other-worldliness of the image.
