This is for real!

SOOC not even cropping.

These are surveyor and builder marks left on the footpath showing where services such as water, sewage, electricity, gas etc run under the footpath. This is at one of the busiest contenders in the middle of Sydney. The other corners are similarly tagged. I hope they know what they are doing??

All the city's secrets are revealed, like you're seeing the tags on its underwear 😸

[John Brown]

I think they are just trying to work out a covid19 vaccination formula, just pray they don't get the connections wrong when they finish.

[Ingrid]

Very interesting! Hope they have it somewhere on paper too...

[Mags]

Interesting and marvelous shot!

[Diana]

What an interesting find and shot, I take it a new building is going up?

[Sylvia du Toit]

Well spotted

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Oh my gosh, how interesting is that.

[Clive Handscombe]

It's an art form.

[Corinne C]

This is so interesting and it brings so much color in the somehow dark corridor. In fact I find it artistic.

[Joyce Lancaster]

Looks as though there will be a lot of road digging going on!

[Lynda McG]

Wow, so much going to happen! It's like a chalkboard

[KoalaGardens🐨]

makes you realise that a flat walking surface covers a lot of complexity

[haskar]

Ha! Ha! I figured it was marking pandemic stations. Yellow line to the store, cream lines to the doctor, etc.

[Joan Robillard]

My that is a lot of marks

[Gosia]

Very interesting

[Babs]

Ha ha I hope they can decipher it.

[Ricksnap]

Cool, legalised graffiti

[Harry J Benson]

It appears that they use different colours so they don't get confused.

[Kat]

Wow different to map out

[Kathy A]

Goodness me, what a mess!

[Molly]

Amazingly complex! I hope, like you, they photograph it before digging up the pavement!

Thanks for the much appreciated comments. I particularly like the pandemic suggestions!

[Diane Marie]

Fascinating

[SandraD]

Hilarious capture and dialogue. Without your feet in the shot it may have been another tall Aussi story. So much change is happening city centre and you found the communication centre. Great Shot!

@sandradavies @diane5812
Thanks. I had another shot with no feet. But I decided to leave my feet in the shot.
