The sun was shining and the gentle wind was warm, a perfect day for drying washing. If you come away from the crowds, wander down alleys and through paved squares, you will find everyday Venice. How do Venetians dry their washing, they have no gardens, just a few maybe, so they hang it out across the alleys, canals and squares to billow in the breeze. I love to see it, the clothes make such a colourful addition to the soft worn look of the buildings.

Echoes of the Past 
Love these, Lynne! What fabulous colours, which make for brilliant photos. I’ve got to say that pegging the clothes out over a canal is a bit risky, isn’t it? But I’m guessing they do it all the time! 🙂
Thank you Jo, I just love the colours against the old walls. I suppose they have lost a few things, but I bet they have good pegs 🙂
Gorgeous series of photos.
Thank you, glad you liked them 🙂
That’s a really clever idea. 🙂 Tho I think I’d be a little nervous my clothes would blow away!
I think the same, butit would take a lot for me to hang my washing out for all to see 🙂 But I suppose they have no other choice really.
Glad its not just me. My hubby always laughs at me taking photo’s of washing but there is something quite catching when you see clean linen wafting from balconies.
LOL no your not the only one 🙂 I love taking photos of washing, I take lots when we are on the Scotland Islands, lots of lovely wind there 🙂
There are communities here that ban drying clothes outside because they think it looks tacky. I wouldn’t want to live there. This is beautiful. 🙂
Oh no I love to see washing blowing in the wind….. sad when they make rules like that. So glad you have enjoyed the photos 🙂
Beautiful! Love this!
Thank you, glad you like them 🙂
