Yelena
everlasting visage
“Yelena”
the girl with headscarf
When I saw this little girl, she was just swinging in the veranda of their house. Her innocent look captured my attention in that moment. I took this photo about the girl in a fabulous looking village, where the effects of modern world are less present in the lives of their inhabitants. The little girl is shown wearing a headscarf, that is part of the typical Maramures traditional costume, which almost every woman and girl must bear
