Veiled woman with high hat keeping goats - Haḍramawt, Yemen
Those women live in the Hadramout area, a very dry one in summer time… They keep the sheeps and the goats under a hard sun in the dried wadis. The tradition is to wear the full black dress, the gloves, the veil, and also this giant hat. The fact that it is so high allows the air to stay fresh above the head. © Eric Lafforgue
