Photographer's Note
This is one of the buildings of the mausoleum complex built for former Tunisian president Habib Bourguiba.
I decided to take the shot when I saw the light penetrating thru the arches.
The location is the town of Monastir (pop. 41,000; 162 km south of the capital Tunis), which is Bourguiba's birthplace.
Monty Python fans have an additional reason to visit this town: its old city was the shooting location for "Life of Brian". Always look on the bright side of life...

Hi daniel, a great shot indeed. I think it would be better to have the left green dome in full but anyway, great colors and good composition.
Best regards,

Hi Daniel,
A very pretty composition of this building with the three domes full of color.
The light of the sun entering through the arcs is very well caught. The frame with a little diagonal of the building is very good, and the details of the beautiful sky and the pavement of the courtyard are perfect.
"Life of Brian", a great and very amusing movie.
Regards,
Josep

Very beautiful, and the building looks like very conservated. The colors are very nice. I just saw this kind of constrution in 'Prince of Persia' games. :D

Jaed.
