In Port Nolloth, a small town on the north-western Diamond coast of South Africa, nature comes back most obviously in the form of the pale shifting sands of the dunes and desert.
Most of the alluvial diamonds off the coast have been removed, but there are still small boats offshore continuing the search. This colourful washing line was between small bleached wooden houses along the shoreline near the harbour.

I love the smell of clothes dried out in the sun, especially sheets! We’re heading into winter which is the rainy season (normally) and it gets to be a challenge getting the clothes dried outside. This IS a bit of a change from your usual topics. Change is good! 😀

Had not thought about the challenges of drying the washing in your climate. We tend to take our more outdoor lifestyle for granted, and I agree about the pleasures of sundried washing. Glad you like the variation on my theme 🙂

Nice photo. Sand and sand dunes are so interesting – seemingly a fixed landscape, but always on the move.

Yes that movement is constant, especially with the strong windy conditions that prevail. Exhausting actually.

Laundry lines tell us much about the inhabitants, don’t they? Bet things dry in a jiffy in that climate!

Yes, I was also looking at the laundry from that point of view. And yes, the laundry does dry fast in that dry and often windy heat. Just have to be sure to peg it on the lines very firmly!
