Street Art? by jamibann

Street Art?

Out walking in the area around the Buttes de Chaumont yesterday and spotted these shoes hanging out. Intriguing!
Over the years I've seen a pair, here and there, but nothing like this statement piece!

Makes a great shot.

Where I come from a pair of shoes hanging over a power line like this means there's a drug house nearby...maybe this is a complete apartment block...

@graemestevens I have heard that before, and it's perfectly possible - given where this was taken!

I have seen a very similar installation in Habana, Cuba and I was told it is a sign that drugs are sold there

You would imagine the police would be aware of its meaning then too, thus negating it? Fascinating sight!

Yes I was working on the same theory as @graemestevens so by the look of the number of shoes must be several druggy houses....

I've been told drugs too - great image

All this drug business is lost on me, I think I am too old.

Intriguing indeed.
February 15th, 2018  
Yes agree with the others - I thought it was a sign for drugs available nearby.

Someone is now going barefoot.

Great candid, made me smile!!
February 15th, 2018  
Very intriguing. Well spotted!

I wonder what this signifies where you are. An unusual sightm ti be sure, as this doesn't look like the kind of neighborhood one might see this in.

I have seen this type thing before and have often wondered if there was a meaning to it. Great capture.
February 16th, 2018  
They make a great photo!
February 16th, 2018  
Well, whatever the meaning...they still make a very cool and quirky photo! :-)

@casablanca That would have been my impression, too!

We see a pair thrown over wires now and then, but certainly not this many.

These seem to have different meanings across cultures. Always a curious scene to see.
