From our balcony we can see the walking track, and every morning and evening there are lots of people walking and running. Women walk in the abayas, with their running shoes on, their blacks billowing in the breeze. People walk alone or in groups, and it is always a nice thing to watch.
Lovely soundtrack! Must be hot marching along in the abayas, phew.

Oh - I read the post and thought, Oh yes - people walking ( goodo, or no biggie) Yes, the abayas probably very sensible sun screen,... then I watched this. Their black clothes, the head to toe, is so invisibilising, it might be an act of faith to believe these bumping along figures are not mechanised substitutes. Living on a hill which is a an exercise destination in a suburb of outdoor walkers & runners perhaps I've seen too much pressed into and squeezed out of lycra but but but - I find this way of perambulating, running or ambling - at one remove tricky.
