There’s nothing like the smell of clothes coming off the clothes line.
I agree. And to sleep on sheets filled with fresh air…
Thanks for the note to click to enlarge —- love the detail here. Very cool photo!
Thank you so much!
Yes, “bigger is better” in a way — but either way it’s a great shot of someone not afraid to “air their laundry in public”! Also such great detail, all those little shirts!
I’m drawn to the ‘art’ of laundry lines. Love the smell of course, and it just makes such gosh darn good sense… but the art! My mum was a laundry line artiste… all the tea towels went together, tops, knickers, everything right-side up and in categories and hung in some sort of order. I still hang things ‘her’ way — shirts by the bottom seams; pillowcases by the open end so the air can get inside…
I like the tiny shirts in this pic too and the way it all peeks over the fence. Almost looks dated, especially with that antennae in the background, but I’m happy to say it was taken out my car window a mere few weeks ago…
“Liking” from the Barbados airport – left behind me line-hanging laundry on Bequia for a few weeks.
Inching closer. How exciting! (And me like your vernacular.)
Well someones been busy hope they used a softener LOL
Have a tanfastic rest of week ;-)
Someone. Not me. (:
At least mine isn’t quite so tidily presented.
Tanfastic to you also.
A woman after my own heart Carin. I love everything to do with clothes on the clothesline. A great choice to do it in b&w.
Thanks, Allison. It’s a rarer and rarer sight. Still makes my heart flutter though… sheets blowin’ in the wind. Tee-shirts too.
Lots of memories rushing in thanks to this shot, Carin. I agree with Allison … B&W was the way to go to make this a ‘story’ and not just a photo!
You guys. I love your eyes.
I love the varied lines, shapes and overall abstract effect, in glorious contrast to the frilly bits and the possibility of stories and the sensory – especially olfactory – effect of thinking about laundry on a line.
Ah, yes. Laundry = olfactory. Big time. (;
Lovely crisp pic! My Mom hung out all her clothes for that natural smell, and clean
A nearly lost art…
