You know how you’re just walking along sometimes, and you see something that’s a bit incongruous, so you keep thinking about it — trying to construct a story that makes sense of what you’ve seen
In Sydney a few years ago, I saw someone striding along, in heels, carrying a tyre slung over their back. What isn’t clear from the photo is that they were wearing only a swimsuit under the coat.
I have imagined a few different scenarios. What do you think?

Oh I’m pretty good in that department too! Making up stories…. crazy stories, gladrag stories, silly stuff, the whole lot. I could see plenty of scenarios with this woman and her high heels plus a fat rubber tyre. Great material to work with!

So many words could describe that scenario. How many of these opportunities do we fail to notice everyday?

That’s a really good point. Given how glued to their phones so many people are, I wonder if they really see anything.

Oh my–so many details, so little time. Wow. A bathing suit, heels and a tire. I hope someone comes up with something, because I am still scratching my head over this one. I would have long since tripped and fallen in those heels. Maybe the tire would cushion my fall…

Hehe. I did wonder if it was the walk home after a big night out. Not sure what sort of night out would involve a tyre though.

Not all that common Down Under either I think. Although it is definitely warm enough for a longer part of the year here.

It looks like an inflatable tube (inner tube), rather than a tire. She must have been using it to float in a pool. A tire would be quite heavy to carry. I can’t explain the heels….

It does! I assumed that in the beginning, but I didn’t think that tyres still had inner tubes. Or that inner tubes would carry advertising.
I wondered if it was a “walk of shame” after a big night out.

Maybe it was the morning after the Mardi Gras?

🙂 mid-week in October I think. I was in Sydney for the Sculpture by the Sea exhibition at Bondi, which is on at the moment.

What a fabulously incongruous capture! The heels were what caught my eye – a dystopian setting for a tale comes immediately to mind!

Thanks so much. The heels are pretty amazing, and she was moving at speed in them.

I think she was going for a swim and is just one of those women that always wears heels no matter where she is going!

You are probably right. I couldn’t work out quite where she was going to swim 🙂

Awesome shot! Are those heels transparent? I don’t know why but the look reminds me a bit Christopher Street Day. 😊
And The Ring Bearer? You know I was thinking LoTR instantly, right? 😉

The heels were transparent — perspex I guess.
I had to look up Christopher Street Day — my original assumption was that “he” was some sort of model or designer 🙂 🙂
Someone else suggested it might have been “the day after” Sydney’s Mardi Gras, but it really was just a very normal weekday.
I hadn’t thought of LoTR with that reference — for me it always evokes weddings. 🙂

Could be a retired transvestite from Karangahape Road Auckland.
If seen in Sydney then an inflated Kings-Cross-dresser..
