[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The dry air must make for quick drying of laundry in Cairo as everywhere I looked, almost everyday, there were freshly laundered clothes hanging from clotheslines strung in front of balconies, even on high rise apartments. They made appealing patterns on the buildings.

Nice capture. I like the alignment of the vertical element along the left edge of the frame. A striking point of view and a cleanly captured subject!

Lois,

I thought people had stopped airing their laundry but not so!

I like the angle and the framing—how the top left contains a full balcony and the bottom right the perfect detail of a Red hat. She doesn't happen to be part of the Red Hat Society?
