Weigh To Go

On The Scale Of Things

I spotted this unusual weighing scale in a fruit-and-vegetable stall at Coburg Market yesterday and asked the owner's permission to photograph it. The face of the scale had the words, ``Not for trade use, courtesy scale only'' emblazoned across it. Yes, it was just an everyday sight, but I deliberately chose an angle where I could get the bagged lemons suspended to the side, as well as the two rows of fluorescent lighting to the right. Even the reflection across the glass face of the scale was an added attracton, rather than a hindrance.
