Beautiful laundrette






On our way home from dinner the other night we passed by the local laundrette just as the sun was setting. My heart sang as I saw the forgotten pair of specs taped up in the window like that; someone somewhere must be missing their rose-tinted glasses :)

    those glasses... :) and the lettering is just amazing.

    reminds me at how much time i spent in launderettes (in london, too), before i had my first washing machine. had weird and wonderful moments there. special places, they are.

    I have spent many hours of my life in launderettes all over the world and have met some of the most interesting people there with great life stories. Your pictures bring back great memories.
    Thank you.

    la planta que cuelga arriba de los lavarropas parece una araña gigante...
