    Sophie Cottle shared her photo of New York City, taken from the back of a yellow cab in 2015. She says: "Turning the corner, I was slapped in the face by the landscape. I'd never felt so small.

  • A tower made out of people standing on each other's shoulders Ian Chantler

  • Lots of shoes tied to a fence mikeyadobe

    Michael Colin: "These are shoe towers in the abandoned town of Rice, California. Many years ago travellers to the Colorado River (further east near the Arizona border) started a tradition of leaving shoes on a tree in Rice to commemorate their trip. The original 'shoe tree' burned down more than 10 years ago, so people started leaving shoes on a fence, branches, poles, whatever they could find. There are thousands."
