I am ever grateful that I'm able to afford a house with my own washer and dryer. However, there is a certain charm to hanging out the clothes to dry no matter where one lives...
Great photograph. Very painterly ;) A very interesting perspective.
I own a dryer, but i only use it when there's too much laundry and I have no more room to hang it. I love the smell of clothes dried, especially of those dried on colder days outside. it takes several days, sometimes, but the smell of winter in clean clothes is unique.
An interesting and thought provoking photo and one that makes me appreciate the wide open spaces we have in New Zealand and the fact I don't need a clothes dryer
Where there’s a will there’s a way! I love drying clothes outdoors - they smell so fresh! I remember one of my CA friends telling me they never air dry clothes and always use a dryer which surprised me.
Great shot! In the block of flats (12 flats) where we live there is a laundry room in the basement with heavy duty washer and dryer. Each flat have designated times they can do laundry. When all the bathrooms were renovated last year we bought a washer/dryer combo and was looking forward to being able to do laundry when it suited us.... well those washer/dries takes hours to wash and then a few hours more to dry stuff (and even then the cloths are still damp when you take them out :-) . I'm back to doing laundry in the basement again :-)
I like the vintage look of this. It reminds me of visiting my grandmother who lived on a 2nd floor flat (of three). The clothes line ran across the alley and attached to the building on the other side. I don't really like the rough feel of outdoor drying, although the clothes and linens do smell good. I'll keep my dryer, thanks.

Excellent processing (as usual - lol!!) and A FAV!
