Turkmen fashion, a photo from Dasoguz, West

When entering into a restaurant from a dusty road in the city of Kunya-Urgench, I noticed under the shade of an arcade (the outside temperature was 44˙C), just on the opposite side of the street this trio of fashionable Turkmen ladies. Apart the elegant cloths, I noticed the three different ethnical origins of them and I liked to see such a pacific living together.
Kunya-Urgench also known as Konya-Urgench, Old Urgench, is a municipality of about 30,000 inhabitants in north-eastern Turkmenistan, located on the left bank of the Amu Daria River, just south from its border with Uzbekistan. It is the site of the ancient town of Urgench, which contains the unexcavated ruins of the 12th-century capital of Khorezm, which was part of the Achaemenid Empire. Since 2005, the ruins of Old Urgench have been protected by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. There are some monuments in the old town which date back from the 11th to 16th centuries. These monuments include a mosque, the gates of a caravanserai, fortresses, mausoleums and a 60-m high minaret.

Szia Attila,
Something more positive to see than the militia, nice trio of ladies that indeed look clearly from different ethnical backgrounds, don't know what the story is about but they seem to be having fun and deliver a joyful impression.
Have a nice day JY

Ciao Attila,
hai racchiuso 3 differenze, totali differenze sotto un unica arcata. Quale miglior cartellone pubbliciario per un qualcosa di costruttivo?! Hai avuto un buon occhio e la realizzaziione finale lo rispecchia in pieno.
Ciao,

Igor

Ciao Attila.
Inquadratura bella stretta per questo bel ritratto triplice, ricco di colori e con uno sfondo perfetto. Mi sembra che ci sia anche un lavoro pp per dare luce ai visi sorridenti delle tre donne.
Ciao.
Bobo.

Szi Attila!
Na, ez a mini ENSZ-csúcs sokkal jobb kedvet ad, amint az előző kép. Mindhárom lány más népet idéz, de mindhárom arc nagyon szép a maga módján. Lehet, hogy elég lett volna egy hármas portré, viszont az öltözetük is ugyanúgy eltérő és érdekes, mint az arcuk. Mindenesetre nem látszanak nagyon megtörtnek attól, hogy Türkmén Basi magukra hagyta őket.
Üdv
Laci

Ciao!
Un bellissimo tri-ritratto di ragazze sorridenti! E' un'immagine solare, che mette allegria. Persino le scelte cromatiche della ragazza a sinistra, altrimenti discutibili, sono azzeccatissime.

Ez igen, Attila! Három arc, három stílus, de mégis együtt, barátságban, összhangban.
Csak gratulálni tudok ehhez a képhez! Jó észrevétel! A fotós mindig nyitott szemmel járkál a világban. :)

Hola Attila.
Nice daily life shot with the three lovely girls chatting and enjoying the present moment in one of the streets of Kunya-Urgench under a temperature of 44 C. Even though they look very ease and relax. Very well captured from a good POV, colors and clarity are very good. I like your frame.
Well done. TFS.
Best regards.
