Performers in costume perform in the rain during the parade on the second day of the Notting Hill Carnival in west London on August 31, 2015.

Here: Vera Germanis hangs out underwear in Frances Andrijich’s grandparents’ backyard. This was the photographer’s first clothesline shot, taken in Midland Junction in 1991.
