The weather has been gorgeous lately. This shot sums up the last 2 weeks for me. Lots of park time. : )
The Dhobi Ghat: Asia’s Largest Outdoor Laundry
Dhobi Ghat, Mumbai
March, 2009
The Dhobi Ghat (washermen’s place), in the heart of Mumbai, is Asia’s largest open-air laundry. Hundreds of people work and live here (mostly men), and clothes from all over Mumbai (for examples hotels) are bundled up and brought to this bustling laundry, where they are washed in large concrete troughs. Men can be seen scrubbing vigourously while soapy buds are flown into the air. Once washed, the clothes are dried and ironed, before being folded, bundled up, and taken back to their owners.
