Washing

As I hung the washing out this morning it made me think how lucky I am to have this very 'old fashioned' but very efficient clothes line.. I inherited it from my In-laws and 38 years ago when I came to live here thought that 'would have to go' .. and be replaced for a flash rotary type ( Hills Hoist)... but no here it stays and get's my washing dry very quickly and always gives very fluffy towels.....

Lovely soft and dreamy "vintage" image

Love the old fashioned feel of the processing, and the texture on the wooden post. This is lovely, and a fav!

[Graham Harcombe]

Very good processing, makes an interesting capture.

[Julie]

Great simple photo :-)

[Ethel]

I like the way you have "honoured" this seemingly mundane set up. Wind power to dry your clothes all this time - a real environmental warrior.

[Dianne]

Goodness me - fancy showing your washing line to the world! Love it! Fav.

[julia]

@dide Very careful how I positioned some of the items...

[Debi 🐩]

Nice pov and yes I prefer the old fashioned lines to

[Tony]

Nicely captured piece of nostalgia. Good for you for using the old technology.

[Gosia]

Love the DoF and composition.

[Judith]

Lovely shot.

[Babs]

If it works, why change it, brilliant shot.

how everyone loves a good washing line photo.......I used to hang my washing out on something very like this but since we moved here 15 years ago we now have a very efficient Hills Hoist bought & sent from NZ ...in fact we have two, one in the rental property next door....fantastic!

@julzmaioro you might want to try for the challenge I spotted

wcys-6 is the new tag and what you can see on your washing line, (or your neighbour's) is the new 'what can you see ?' challenge.

hope you enjoy airing your laundry this week, keep it clean lol

challenge starts this moment, until Wed 16th JULY

[Maggie]

This is such a great shot - I love your pov on this and the retro colours. I have a washing line like this so it has given me some ideas to try.

[Amanda Thepanda]

Great DOF

classic new zealand washing line, I am discovering that in some parts of the world people no longer bother with them!! sacrilege
