Veiled woman with high hat keeping goats - 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 is it so high allows the air to stay fresh above the head.
