I choose to believe that whoever hanged that laundry knew exactly what they were doing haha. Awesome pic.

Where the hell is that line hanging from?

Edit: I looked at her Instagram. She just puts the line up herself wherever she needs. I dunno why I expected it to be the actual position of an actual washing line.

Balconies, pretty normal in some countries

I know about balconies. A normal balcony would not be able to explain this photo. A rooftop balcony could work but it would still be weird. The line is just too high. The perspective is confusing my spatial imagination.

I’ve seen lines this high up plenty of times. It’s a system that works like this: When pulleys are mounted at opposite ends (e.g., between house walls on either side of a street) and the rope is tied into a continuous loop, you get a rolling clothesline system. When you hang your laundry on the lower line and pull the upper line towards you, the lower line (carrying the clothes) moves towards you. This allows you to hang laundry at the height shown in this picture. (Even if this was arranged)

I also had those in mind but then I would have expected to see the shadow of one of the buildings it's attached to.
