Strange sights

It was one of those days for the bizarre and unexpected…

High above a Brighton street

Floating on air

Flying bike. Have they lost their shoes?

White dove over rooftops

And finally, a teaser with a nature theme… and it's certainly one of the more unusual garden displays…

    Shoes! I doubt even a fox could get a pair up there 😉 It is very odd; I've seen shoes hanging from wires in Brighton myself, but their meaning has escaped me…

    That bubble is beautiful!

    The shoes on the wire appear to be a popular joke.

    Mark, Brighton does tend to the strange at times. You certainly picked the best day for plane spotting. Today has been grey and damp 🙁

    Adele, the shoe thing is very odd. Bubble-blowing seems to be a common street performance in Brighton. Strange town!

    The shoes on the wire thing is apparently drug related – where there are hanging shoes there are drugs for sale…

    Alice, that's a reasonable theory but Brighton is very postmodern so it could mean anything at all!
