the clotheslines of Venice

The cityscape in the side streets is characterised by laundry hung up oudoors to dry. The clotheslines are stretched from house to house. They can be moved back and forth via reversing rollers.

I like the vertical and horizontal lines......not that they overpower the image, just they are the basis of everything in the photo.

[summerfield]

are they owned by one house or is that a common clothesline, like on a first come first served basis? thanks for sharing.

[Jerome]

@summerfield A good question: Who owns a clothesline? I suspect it belongs to those whose windows the clotheslines are stretched. I would rather exclude that everyone can hang up his laundry everywhere.

[Teresa Matuza]

Great composition! Nice shot, I grew up with a couple of those in my backyard!

[Jerome]
