It's washing day!

Challenge #6 in the Humanist Photography : up close and personal series. Hosted by Michel Bricteux.

Challenge has finished

We've all once been amused by these narrow, busy little streets with washing hanging on lines, offering a glimpse at people's intimacy. Have you ever found yourself trying put a face on their owner, rebuilding a whole world around a few square inches of colored pieces of textile? Show us washing on a line and let your imagination tell us the story.
