Description
Sunday was wash day in Swaziland. Families were busy doing their laundry in the river... mom, dad, boys and girls... On the left hand side of the image you can see some washing spread over some bushes to dry. We both found it fascinating... The scene was just so peaceful... with the cows grazing in the background and the beautiful mountain keeping an eye on the activities!!!
Thank you for popping in and for your very valued comments and favs on my previous image.
Hugs, Carin xx

After gazing upon this primitive scene, I went into the garage and thankfully kissed my washing machine, and then gave my dryer a warm hug. Fine foto of the landscape and the natives doing their sanitary thing, Carin!

I have seen such a scene in Mexico and the Philippines.we take for granted automatic washing machines when such very poor has to was like this. My mother washed by hand many years but at least she could heat water excellent capture

Swaziland must be one of the most beautiful places in the world. The landscape is so peaceful and lovely. Either that, or it's your spectacular photography skills! That might be it, too. Whichever, this is a gorgeous view, and the people doing laundry in the foreground gives the sense of a slow pace of life. Wonderful image!

I used to see this a lot in Mexico but things have changed in the last years. It's not an easy life, but I love how you've captured the whole scene.

Wonderful capture Carin. This is something one normally doesn't see. Reminds me when I was a kid during WWII. My aunts and grandma did the laundry in the little creek that ran in front of the house in Sudentenland, now Czech Republic.

That's a panoramic vista for something as mundane as doing the wash. An excellent photo that tells a story of life in your part of the world. Very nice work!
