160830_172329_2086 Laundry Day

Via Carbonara, Napoli (Naples)

In an earlier shot we saw a visually chaotic example of laundry (amongst other things hung out on Neapolitan balconies. On a smaller scale, however, it can be more visually tranquil. Here we have just a few clothes and other household items stretched out to dry.

I must confess, however, I have not the first idea what the grey thing on the left-hand side of the balcony (as we are looking at it) is. It looks like grey leaves attached to a wire framework, though at the resolution that this image will be published I doubt you’ll be able to make that out clearly. It may be some sort of privacy screen for the balcony since in the full resolution image I can see that it does seem to wrap all the way around. If so, it's an interesting idea.

(Since writing that I've looked further, and there do indeed seem to be such products available. I've also noticed a very similar product on a balcony in image 20160830_017223.)
