Praying for Rain

This is one of my favorite pictures from my time in Iraq, this was taken during a meeting with farmers in the Hashmia Al Bada village. We were talking about the lack of water and rain and how that was preventing them from farming. As we spoke every farmer was running his prayer beads through his hands. I think it just goes to show you that farmers are similar no matter what language they speak.... at some point they all pray for rain.
