Street Art?

Out walking in the area around the Buttes de Chaumont yesterday and spotted these shoes hanging out. Intriguing!

[Louise & Ken]

Over the years I've seen a pair, here and there, but nothing like this statement piece!

[HelenM]

Makes a great shot.

[Graeme Stevens]

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...

[Issi Bannerman]

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

[Caterina]

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

[Casablanca]

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

[julia]

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

[Shanne]

I've been told drugs too - great image

[Peter Day]

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

[Denise Wood]

Drug overdose!!!

[Bep]

Intriguing indeed.

[Cherrill]

Yes agree with the others - I thought it was a sign for drugs available nearby.

[Tunia McClure]

Someone is now going barefoot.

[Margaret Brown]

Great candid, made me smile!!

[Hazel]

Very intriguing. Well spotted!

[Jocasta]

♥️♥️♥️

[Kathy]

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.

[Henri Russell]

I have seen this type thing before and have often wondered if there was a meaning to it. Great capture.

[KWind]

They make a great photo!

[Gayle]

Well, whatever the meaning...they still make a very cool and quirky photo! :-)

[Issi Bannerman]

@casablanca That would have been my impression, too!

[Anita Campbell]

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

[Taffy]

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

[Dorothy]

I’ve seen this but had no idea it meant something!
