Mea Shearim (name taken from a verse of the Torah and meaning "Hundredfold"), is where those who adhere to a very strict interpretation of the Torah lives. At the entrance of the neighborhood are modesty warnings. Any women in violation of the dress code is usually pelted with stones (pebbles, one hopes), as the presence of scantily clad women in the field of view of the male inhabitants puts them in violation of religious rule.
I sat with my camera pointing out through the car window, and without looking through the viewfinder, I pressed the shutter button about when I thought something interesting was roughly in front of the camera. (When I did that, I didn't know that photography was frowned upon.)
