Saturday Photo Hunt – Lines

Breigh December 23, 2006 14

Summer!! This week’s photo hunt is Lines.  I wasn’t sure at first what photo I was going to use but then I thought of this one.  Clotheslines.

Here in the Netherlands we hang our clothes out off our balconies.  There are 2 metal bars sticking out from the outer corners of the balcony and you string clothesline across for hanging out your clothes.

I just got out of bed and it’s quite cold in the house, it’s making me miss the warm summer days when I could sit out in the sun on my balcony… and hang my clothes outside!

Brrrr…

    Hmm, interesting. Folks here (in the country of the US) hang clothes to dry but not as often as in the long-ago past. I do see it some… I usually only hang rugs,etc… We don’t use but rather a cloths line in the back yard =)

    Stay warm!

    Great picture! It reminds me of when I used to have to hang my clothes out just like that when we lived in Munich. I always liked the fresh, clean smell of clothes that are air dried. Now we have the luxury of a dryer here in Malaysia (which is a good thing, since it’s so humid here, the clothes would never dry!)

    Ha-Ha I know about those clothes lines, ohh so well ;) .. In the winter , I use the dryer as well as the famous clothes lines. Seasons Greetings, Breigh, will bring back a piece of Canada with me.. :D

    Hm… you must be careful when hanging the clothes, or you’ll end up picking them up from the street :D

    I played too.

    Merry Christmas and blessed New Year!

    I miss the summer, too! Let’s not get started missing it this early in winter, though! ;) Great spin on this theme! Thanks for coming by my blog for a visit!

    Thanks for stopping by. I would for sure drop clothes here. A bit scared of heights. :) And basically clumsy. Great lines in the clothes lines and also in the railing of the balcony. Have a wonderful Christmas!

    Great shot for this theme….and I LOVE the scent of clothes hung out on a line, as opposed to a dryer.

    That’s a great take on the lines theme :)

    Hanging clothes from a balcony on a clothes line? I bet that is interesting at times!! With my luck, more clothes would end up on the ground than on the line!! Great photo!

    Merry Christmas!!

    I’m a photo hunter too. I remember my Mom hang her clothes on the line too. My Mother-In Law still does.

    The clothes horse seems all too common here in Europe. Even here in Italy is the same. Man how I miss having a dryer, especially this time of year, when it takes forever for a pair of jeans or towels to dry. When they are dry, they’re crunchy.
