"The veiled women is about a cold, windy day in the winter that is called Ashura. This day is an important day for Shia Muslims. A ceremonial mourning is held each year at that day. I remember getting a chilly feeling by looking at this scene. I was wondering how those women can walk for several kilometers in the cold dry air. They were all attending a ceremonial mourning that was far more important for them than their comfort."
