Sufetula Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Here's an overview of the Sufetula-site in Sbeïtla in western Tunisia. I have pointed out some spots in the large version, I have posted pictures from the temples (I, II, III and IV) and gymnastics hall (I and II), and a picture from the theater will probably come soon.

The church-marking refers to the building in the foreground which is an old byzantine church. I don't know the exact age, but something like 400-600 a.d. It is dedicated to the saints Gervais, Protais and Tryphon.

The large version is pretty grainy since this is a detail from a much larger picture, I've used the full length along the horizontal axis.

A choisir entre les deux version je préfère la petite qui comporte plus de netteté a l'inverse, la grande version nous montre les détails architecturaux des construction a une taille raisonnable en les deux font bien la paire. Pour l'assemblage c'est bien fait.
Bien vu Simon

Hej brorsan! fin bild du har tagit. Det verkar storslaget var det det? Fint med ruinerna i front och templet som ser någorlunda helt ut i bakgrunden!

NIce panorama. I like the little bits of green in the photo. It is an informative view, also. There is a wide range of buildings here showing a long time of activity. I like the graininess. It brings out the feel of grainy sand/dirt here. I really like how the church, temples, arch and baths rise up from the leveled landscape. Nicely done.
