Before putting winter clothes into storage
1960s-80s
Residents laying out clothes in the sun in the open space. Tradition has it that the winter clothing should be hung in the sun before stowing them away after dragonboat festival, to prevent them from molding in the closet. During the 3rd and 4th months of the lunar calendar Ho Sau often saw residents laying out clothes in the nearby playground. The irregular shapes were photographed from a top-down angle.
