In response to the Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Weight(less)
These shoes have been hanging on the powerlines by the train station since before I moved to the neighbourhood. It was the first thing I thought of when I saw this week’s prompt: share a photo of something marked by its weight. They still turn in the breeze…
That (shoes over overhead line) is often to signal where street drugs are available. Suddenly puts a whole new perspective on the scene doesn’t it!

Whoa, seriously? Haha, and here I thought it was just people being stupid. It does bring a whole a new perspective!

Well in fairness to stupid people, they may well do it as well! 🙂

I’ve heard the same description as Colinandray but still find the shoes on a line quite comical. And certainly weightless LOL.

Thanks Tina. Yeah, whatever the shoes mean, they’re still a feature of the neighbourhood and they do look pretty comical.

In my town you threw your shoes to the powerlines when you left… I won’t be needing *these* anymore!

I like this reason better! Makes me think the person who threw them up there is doing well for themselves now… Good on them!

I always wonder why – and certainly the places I have seen them wouldn’t match with trying to alert people that drugs were for sale – we are talking the middle of nowhere in the country. 🙂 Perhaps the possums sell drugs?

Great place to safely sell illegal drugs! “Park under the shoes about 2 miles up Lakeside Road and I’ll meet you there!”

mmm, don’t think that’s what it means here in Tas, but hey, what would I know never having drifted to the wrong side of that line?
