Shadow Shot Sunday 2 allows us to look for shadowy subjects be they grand or prosaic. I decided to look back to the year 1947 (a guess) to the back yards of two abodes in the LaBelle View neighborhood in the steeltown of Steubenville, Ohio.
To the left is my grandmother Agnes, performing the task of drying clothes on a clothesline outside, probably before the days of affordable clothes dryers. To the right is a neighbor, also doing the same thing. It appears that she lived in the garage apartment on La Belle Court, the back porch facing the back side of my grandparents Oregon Avenue house. Shadows and smiles make for a nice day, housework or not :)

Always love seeing the shadows from the past that you post!
Hi,Ralph, love seeing these olden photos...reminds me of helping my mother hang clothes on the line (and running to get them off if it started to rain.
I was born in the 70s but back in my former country, they still do this kind of drying clothes till this day.

Wow. These photos are a wonderful memory. And I still dry clothes on a clothesline outside - especially sheets.
The sheet is like a movie screen. I still hang clothes!
nothing better than sheets dried in the sun- they smell so wonderful! Great shots- thanks for digging them out!
I still love to hang laundry outside and let the sun and wind do their freshening magic!
I love these shots! I miss being able to hang laundry outside- not allowed in this mobile home park. The fragrance permeated the laundry like no softener can. I even liked the scratchy towels!
