When i was in Portugal back in 2005, the very first thing that draw my attention was this old fashion antennas striping the sky and laundry lines welcomes you from every corner of the city. Laundries that line up in a very busy night-life street and that are mostly underwears which makes you not believe the fact that they are real and not belong to some kind of installation (1). Laundries that suprises you when the bus jsut turn a corner almost brushing against eachother (2). Laundries that lined up beautifully in the narrow streets of Alfama strict (3). Laundries that hangs from the balconies (4 & 6). Laundries that salutes you whenever you least expected (5).

And it reminds me that in Istanbul instead of cherrishing this kind of nice details we try to polish them off to turn this city into something that tourists will find joy in its hallowness.
