Why is it that we find people’s laundry such a great subject for photography, but only while travelling?! I know I do, and it seems that I’m not alone. Whether it’s someone doing the laundry in the open air (as is common in many countries but not here in the UK!), or hanging it out on the line to dry, this is often a source of photographic inspiration on my travels.
It’s a while since I joined Debbie’s One Word Sunday challenge, and of course I find it impossible to restrict myself to one word, or to one photo! But this is a subject I couldn’t resist, so here is a selection of images from around the world.
All these photos are captioned with the location in which they were taken. You can click on any one of them to see the caption and scroll through them all as a slideshow. If viewing on a phone you may need to click on the speech bubble bottom right to read the caption.
A couple were taken on my most recent trip to the Caucasus (the first two in the second gallery), the rest are from my archives. My feature photo was taken in Madagascar.
