Hmmm...

......I wonder what happened here? As I wandered along Nightingale Lane the other day I came across this pair of boots standing side by side on the pavement with nothing else around. They look in reasonable condition, not smart but certainly serviceable, the only thing missing were the laces...
    What happened to the owner, abducted by aliens, human combustion or just forgetful I guess we'll never know...

  1. For some reason this photo reminds me of a very touching song that I really like...if you listen to it you will see why. The lyrics, unlike many songs of today, are easy to understand. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFcRRKqcaEI

  2. If you look at the video and listen to the song you will see a pair of boots in the video and the meaning behind them. Very poignant, beautiful song.

    1. I am with you Bergson. The invisible man was standing there right in front of Geoff.

  5. Maybe someone left them for the homeless. They do that a lot here in Berlin.

  8. I have this image of someone blasting right out of his shoes :) Maybe someone is re-gifting them but keeping the laces as a memento of his favourite boots. Whatever the story this is a beautifully captured image Geoff.
