Un yemenite � la mosqu嶪, a photo from Sana, West

Photographer's Note

L'habillement de ce y幦幯ite est caract廨istique du pays, il est toujours compl彋� par la jambiya, cette sorte de poignard courbe que la majorit� des hommes porte � la ceinture. Plus qu'une arme, la jambiya est plut矌 un embl鋗e de la masculinit�.
En d廧it de leur physionomie fi鋨e est parfois farouche, les y幦幯ites sont hospitaliers et g幯廨alement tr鋊 accueillants envers les 彋rangers.
La photo a subi un post-traitement: Eclaircissement, contraste, renforcement.

what a strong picture. The look on this guy's face, the ornamental features (scurf, bottle, window), and the brownish colors. beautiful!
I have one question though - this guy has a kippa like jewish people. I can't read french, but I did understand the word mosqu嶪. Are you sure he's a muslim?
