This is not Afghanistan, and these are no Taliban women. This is right in Marawi City. These Muslim women were chatting as President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo was delivering a speech. Although cloaked in veil, you can see the smile in their eyes and can almost hear their conversation. I like the texture of the cloth blending with the concrete in the background.
