On The Path Of Life

by Chris Sorrenti


Overweight middle eastern woman

Jogs past me in full burka

Minus the veil

The combination of

Heavy material around ankles

And designer running shoes

In forward motion


Jihad of a different sort

good capture, mate -- forward motion, progress -- maybe even swapping one evil for another. the iconic consumerist holy war -- nicely done!

Excellent symbolism of the traditional, though very strong, very slowly giving way to the modern.

I like Charlie's comment. The image you paint brings a big smile to my face and makes me glad I live on this particular continent. What a sight this must have been.
