Khalef tower - the highest point in Sousse Medina (old town). It was built in 859 as a part of city walls and was used as a watchtower. More than 1000 yers later in 1890 lighthouse was installed on the top of the tower. The lighthouse is still in use.
This photo was taken from a small sightseeing boat while departing harbour of Souse.

Wonderful image, well done!!
Light is excellent, colours are bright and sature.
It really seems a beautiful place, the point of view you choose gives a lot of effect to the image.

Hi Linas,
I really like brightness of your photo. And the clouds behind make a very good frame for the fortress on top of the hill.

Bonjour Linas,
J'aime beaucoup, une photo truffée de qualités.
Un ciel superbe, des lumières bien dosées ce qui donne en plus des couleurs éclatantes.
Ensuite un cadrage et un POV bien choisi pour une netteté sans repproche.
Best regards.
Daniel.

Hi Linas,
I like the various structures. They seem piled up on each other. I especially like the tan color of the city walls/fortress.
I feel you could have cropped out some of the sea, so as to avoid having thirds compositionally, but it's a fine image nevertheless. Nice light, and great whites and colors!
