This week the challenge is extraordinary and as happens quite often just before a challenge I seem to post a picture that I feel is most apt for it, therefore repeating myself.
Last Sunday I posted about the Swell Festival at Currumbin Beach that happens every year. It is a wonderful eclectic collection of sculptures which runs for a week and everyone freely can wander between each exhibit on the beach.
Although there were a few highlights, one in particular stood out to me more than the others. I cannot give credit to the artist as I do not know who it was but how often do you see something as mundane as a clothes line (Hills Hoist here in Australia) on a beach. Not what I was expecting and quite surreal if you didnt know there was an exhibit on to keep your mind in check. I thought it extraordinary.

Wow! About 25 years ago, we were still in the home we raised our kids in, in Iowa. And we had a clothesline like this in our back yard. Not many of our neighbors did. I loved, especially, to hang out sheets to dry. Hung out a lot of my laundry in the spring, summer and fall months. Nothing like it! But, my laundry never looked like this photo…..fabulous photo for this challenge!

Thanks Lillian, yes the old clothesline, was a staple in every backyard of Australian, it holds a lot of memories for me as well, especially swinging on them as kids. You dont see many like them anymore 🙂

Wouldnt that be handy when your towel got too wet at the beach, hang it out to dry for a while and off you go again. Thanks Jane 🙂

I guess you and I both see the “extraordinary” in clotheslines! What a funny coincidence, even though our takes were quite different.
