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

An amazing capture! My sleep is better Carin, but it is not where it needs to be... thanks for asking! :-)
Excellent view! Very interesting and well done!!!
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!
Wonderful scene, looks like something you'd see in National Geographic....great shot and congrats on winning the draw!
WOW! This is a wonderful shot! It is so different there. Thank you for sharing the different culture. Congrats on winning.
Wow, another winner. I like the way you've cropped this. So much going on, yet so peaceful. What's another word for Bravo? ...we're using it a lot here :-) Bill
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!
WONDERFUL CAPTURE & PERSPECTIVE :)
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.
Excellent capture Carin.
So well captured, great colour! Very well done, Clive
Amazing scene and photo.
You are right Carin. It really looks so peaceful. A wonderful capture it is.
It would be idyllic if they weren't so poor. FABULOUS pic!
Wonderful and a very interesting capture.
Un magnifique panorama de la vie quotidienne, bravo pour le reportage et la composition

A splendid and so interesting capture. Thanks for sharing ;O)
Very nice scene. Great shot!
Wonderful capture and very interesting informations, dear Carin !!! 5+++++ Hugs:):):)
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.
Excellent and interesting capture... Brings back sweet memories!
Fascinating image! Well composed and a very interesting view of what life is like there. We should be very grateful every day for the things we have.
Thanks for sharing, you have an eye for this! I agree with JeffG&BRJ, very worthwile work.
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!
Great scene!
