Descriptive Source -- On a Historical Photograph

Prokudin-Gorskii's photo of a mother and mother nature.

A mother seats by the riverbank, by where the boats dock. When things get overwhelming, she comes here to relax. She casually wears a long black blouse shirt, a long maroon skirt up to her ankle, and a white cloth to cover her head. She had her shoes off, placed them beside her and have her foot dripped in the cool water. It is summer after all. She closed her eyes, exhaled deeply, and thought about her late son.
A year ago, she gave birth to her first born -- her stillborn son. It's a mother curse. The children way destroy their parents -- mostly their mothers. Just like the way humans destroy their mother -- Earth. Mothers of all kinds all share the same suffering, ironically, their suffering is also their happiness. 
Prokudin-Gorskii was heading to the town near by, when he saw the woman in a deep state. He decides to take a picture of her without her permission.
