Monday Washing Lines – Villajoyosa in Spain

 

Welcome to my latest theme. Monday Washing Lines.

 

I liked this one for the way the colour of the washing compliments the shades of the building.

Villajoyosa is a wonderful place, an ex-fishing town, now a Spanish holiday resort of coloured houses with twisted rusting balconies with rattan blinds decorated with overloaded washing lines and pot plants gasping for water, all looking longingly out to sea. It reminded me of Burano in Venice, Cinque Terre on the Italian Riviera and of Milos in the Greek Islands.

It is a Challenge. Do feel free to join in…

  3. How on earth did Margaret spot the pink peg? Until I enlarged the image I only saw shades of blue and dazzling white.

  5. What impresses me is the multiple shades of blue in the wall. Streaks and lines and patches every which colour!

  9. I didn’t carry a camera then but I can still see the washing on lines stretching from one side of the street to another up five or six floors in Naples.

  13. I thought I was coming to an end when I spotted a washing line closer to home yesterday which might appeal to you. I have a couple more from Venice first though. I have a feeling this one will appeal to you.

  16. And it reminded me of trips to Villajoyosa from Benidorm in days gone by but the houses were not so brightly painted then.
