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…
But doesn’t that single pink peg distress you?

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

This is such a nice shot, Andrew! Can’t get away with anything with that Margaret 🙂 🙂 No washing out here today…thunder and lightning and the odd beefy shower.

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.

I really like to see it. It gives these places a positive vibrancy and a certain reassurance that real people live in them.

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.

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