This woman's headscarf adds a splash of colour in an otherwise dreary dull inner-city neighbourhood which is undergoing renovation, judging from the smooth stucco walls of one of the buildings. But even that has managed to acquire graffiti.
I suppose the woman's Russian - maybe from Georgia or the Ukraine. A local Greek woman her age would never wear such a colourful scarf; hers would be plain black.
The older lady makes an interesting picture.
ReplyDeleteShe really gives the whole photo a point of interest.
ReplyDeleteIn Portugal in some rural areas and small villages old ladies also wear those black scarfs.
Some even keep wearing everything black!
Yes, we recognize the Greek pilgrim women here in Jerusalem by their black clothes.
ReplyDeleteAnd I am always full of admiration for the older pilgrim women of Greece who fill the Via Dolorosa. You can see how they have saved and sacrificed to go up to Jerusalem and how they are fulfilling a dream. God bless them.
