What does it say about me that I find the pic of the 4 women in camo to be aggressive - like, if I saw those people in my neighborhood I'd be nervous? All the rest of them, though, are charming.

For context, I live in an area that has a relatively high population of Muslim women of various descents. On the sidewalk in front of my apartment you will see a wide spectrum of costume, from full-on all-black burqa or niqab with eye-slits down to every day hijabs or less. I hope I'm getting those terms right, I honestly don't know the nuances involved.

Strewth, those images are large! I really must learn, someday, how to resize stuff. I nearly had my own eye out, there.

All that loose fabric around chain driven machinery is giving me hives.
