Rapturous! Inspirational & Interesting Photography

This is the odd cap out on the stick holders that are under my kitchen window. I spied them on the way home from work.

Outdoor drying of clothes in a lot of homes in Singapore is done on poles, referred to as ‘gala poles’. Unfortunately, when you don’t have sticks in the pole holders, water tends to build up and mosquitoes breed.

In a place where dengue fever is quite common and it’s spread by mosquitoes, these caps are required to reduce still water buildup, and as a result keep the mozzie population low.
