[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Sidi Bou Said (Arabic: سيدي بو سعيد) is a town in northern Tunisia (it is located only 20 km from the capital of Tunisia, Tunis). It is the capital of the Sidi Bou Said Governorate.
The town got its name for a Muslim religious figure who lived there, Abou Said ibn Khalef ibn Yahia Ettamini el Beji (before he came along, it was called Jabal el-Menar). The town itself is a tourist attraction as it is known for the extensive use of blue and white colors all over the town. All kinds of souvenirs (some not even remotely connected to Sidi Bou Said and sometimes not to Tunisia itself) can be bought in the main street. While staying in Sidi Bou Said for a few days is not common, tourists from Hammamet and other tourist towns usually come to Sidi Bou Said. It can be reached by a TGM train, which runs from Tunis to La Marsa.

Hi George, this is an interesting view of Sidi Bou Said, a very picturesque town. I like the sparseness and simplicity of this image - the blue and white of the Mediterranean. Nice clean, sharp lines in the composition. Well captured! Regards,
Ryno

I like the interesting colours and shapes in this shot. The blue wooden shutters and windows make a nice contrast with the pink walls of the building.
Good work.
