My friend Liz told me that our apartment complex prohibits the hanging of laundry outside because it's "unsightly." My first response was "uhh NO IT'S NOT! I love the way laundry looks hanging in the breeze." But then I realized that at some times it really does look tacky.
Why? It can look so enchanting when hanging between two crooked buildings in Italy, off of a balcony in Paris, or on lines in a charming English garden.
I appreciate line-drying laundry for reasons of form and function. I have a lot of clothes that I have to line-dry, mostly due to my long proportions and need of avoiding shrinkage. I have taken many photos in my day and I've seen quite a bit of it "around" lately so here is some laundry eye-candy.
I guess it depends on the context and the laundry itself.

Also, the laundry scenes in "Tree of Life" are breath-taking.
