I am sorry author, but the contest is about "costume" means clothing, not what we do in this country and what we are good at. Your entry is amazing though, I just Love honey, what a great shot if it was what it asked for.
"Post your national costume."
romania?
morning every1 thanks for stopping by. it's a pity there is a need to give explanations, that the photo is very ON topic! the lady is wearing a national costume: cotton blouse with handmade embroidery, each colour has it's meaning, the national flowers also show the region of the country she is from. The blouse has a belt showing that the lady is not married (also traditional element). then goes the black skirt, which says that the reason she is not married - her husband died. Yeah they are making honey, it's traditional in their area, just a wonderful adding to the atmosphere
and it's also our national trait to first ask and then judge we do not even mind if you borrow that humanistic trait from us Bluefly, thank you for guessing, this is not Romanian costume, hope you will try again, I'm sure you are close to the answer
So sorry then author, I wish you best of luck, did not vote yet
So here we are: "Slovania?"
beautiful photograph.
dont be sorry, we are all allowed to say what comes to our mind, JoeCacia ) and I appreciate your comments, really. as to the guessing, it's warmer, but not Slovania yet Jeanine, thank you
