Photohunt: Hanging

PhotoHunters

This week’s  theme is Hanging.  Here is a picture of what’s left of the basketball net hanging by itself on the hoop.  This in-ground steel basketball pole, hoop, backboard, and net are as old as the house.  It was installed when the first owners moved-in in 1966.  The net felled apart last year, must be from the weather and wear and tear through the 40+ years.

    I imagine many balls went through that hoop over the years. Cool photo. One little strand left hanging. A reminder of its glory days.

    Good theme post.
