Yemen 35  window pane 1
A slight reprise on Yemen made up of street scenes. When visiting a country where one doesn’t speak or read the language, the men carry big knives and the women are covered it is hard to make much sense of what one sees. We were often greeted warmly possibly in part because there are almost no tourists at present. I have decided to add these slices of street life over the next 5 days to share something of the experience of  looking through a window at others that was a part of this Yemen trip. Obviously one always does that to varying degrees but I liked on revisiting my Yemen images how these images say something about that aspect of traveling for me.
