Most of them flinch very much when walking over the rock / brick path,because they has soft feet,but I noticed one girls that walk fast,without any problem,and I asked to her if she feel hurt on feet.
The girls,surpised for my question, answer not,she was used to walk barefeet on the gravel of her courtyard,so she not feel any hurt....

Lovely pictures Clipper, thanks for sharing them!

Which girl was it in the photo's? ( That had no problem with gravel)
(I notice a lot of the girls were smoking, I wonder how they put their cigarettes out?)

For b'ftlvr2000

The girls used to gravel is the barefeet one in the 2 last photos :

in this photos is over bricks block and asphalt covered of little stones.
Notice that bricks are not regular,but are with some part upper and some other lower,so this brick hurt very much (I feel unconfortable with light shoes,I can imagine barefeet...)

Unfortunately I did not seen any smoking girls put their cigarettes out with barefeet.

Lovely. Is this in Italy?

Cheers,

Yes,in Italy,and unfortunately only 1 day in a year.

And for this year is finish,so I have to wait next year to see it...

Did you take any photos of the girls actually in the paddy?
