“It takes little effort to watch a man carry a load.” (Chinese Proverb). The photo was taken in Jaffa, an ancient city, located in the south of Tel-Aviv. Jaffa is a mixed city with Jews, Christians and Muslims living together in harmony. Philip J.Baldensperger, wrote in "Women in the East": "The women are very dexterous in carrying loads on their heads and keeping them in equilibrium. Everything, except the babies and the skin water-bottle, is carried on their heads."
