touring the arid state resulted in a lot of dusty clothes...luckily there was a free open-air laundromat available to refresh the shirts and socks

Very cool find! You did a great job of finding the more obscure. ~BV~

Another great find and composition! V

They were probably top of the line at one time. I like the rusty colors contrasting with the blue. V

I'm just about old enough to remember the clothes wringer - hard work!

Interesting to think that these were once modern appliances that allowed folks to more easily do an essential daily task. Now they are still of use to the sharp-eyed shooter.

These represent a lot of hard work. A hard life that made hard people. A great image that should make us tahnkful for what we have today! V

These relics serve as a reminder of simpler times when laundry day meant more than just pressing a button....delightful image...V

How convenient. One for colored laundry and one for the whites.

More advanced than slapping the clothes on a rock but still a lot of work.

Old ways of life. Mood perfectly captured.

Great find and capture, and I bet they got a lot of use in their day.
