Did some more exploring of the local area today. Had a stroll round the souks of Sousse, revisited Port el Kantaoui and Ann even got to spend sometime relaxing on the beach. I like the repeating patterns of the parasols in this shot. - POTD 2 Apr 2006: Oranges 2 April 2006

We visitied Sousse Museum to see the mosaics today. Some excellent examples here. Probably some of the best mosaics I’ve ever seen. I’ll post some here at some point. However the oranges growing in the courtyard also caught my attention. Time to find a nice drink of orange juice I think. - POTD 3 Apr 2006: Culture Clash 3 April 2006

Today we caught the train up to Tunis. We are spending three nights in Tunis in order to visit some of the places in this area. I’ve been learning a lot recently about making photographs instead of just taking them when they arrive. This shot is a case in point. I saw the clothes hanging up and decided that a image of the clothes filling the frame would look pretty good. But it laked a focus to the image. I noticed that a lot of people were walking past so I set the camera up and waiting for an interesting individual to go by. I was fortunate to see this woman in the traditional black jilbab dress look look at belly dancing costumes as she passed the shop. A real clash of cultures if ever there was one. - POTD 4 Apr 2006: Tophet 4 April 2006

Today we took the train from Tunis up to what remains of ancient Carthage and then later on to Sidi Bou Said.The first place we visited in was the Tophet in Carthage. This was the place where child sacrifices took place in the ancient Carthage. The photograph shows the underground chamber where the acts were carried out. For all it’s grizzly history there was a great sence of calm and quiet over the site. A tranquil place with a horrific past.

We spent today in Tunis. First stop was The Zitouna (or Great Mosque) in the middle of the medina. As non-musilims we were only allowed to view the mosque from a railed off viewing area. Even so the archetecture was still very impressive. The couple in the picture are two athropologists from Ireland who were also visiting Tunis and the mosque.The name Zitouna, means “olive tree” and the mosque is believed to have aquired this name from an olive tree that one grew in the courtyard.

A stone carving of the god Pan at the Bardo Museum, Tunis, TunisiaOne of my favourite exhibits from the Bardo Museum in Tunis. I am yet to work out whether this is deliberately created as a profile carving, or whether it is carving the faced forward but was broken in such a way that it now looks like a profile.

We caught the train south again today and returned to our base in Sousse, and spent most of the rest of the day relaxing at the hotel. In the evening however we took ourselves off to Port el Kantaoui again. I was keen to get some night time shots there. It turned out to be a very hit and miss affair with those shots however. Many of the street lights were broken and the fountain lights didn’t appear to work properly. However this was probably the best of the shots I got. It is a 62 second exposure – I opted for such a long exposure because the fountain light would flash on for the odd second or two and I hoped with such an exposure I would get them to flash at least once or twice durring the shot. - POTD : Thu, 6 Apr 2006: Place de la Fontaine / musical fountains at Port el Kantaoui at night, Tunisia 6 April 2006
Place de la Fontaine / musical fountains at Port el Kantaoui at night, TunisiaThe musical fountains in Port el Kantaoui photographed at night… or rather at dusk. A 1 min exposure to ensure that all the water is blurred and since not all the fountains are on at the same time it enabled me to capture more of them in the single shot.

We hopped on to another train today and headed south to the village of El Jem. In the centre of this village is a giant roman “coliseum” – although to strictly accurate it is actually an amphitheatre – there IS only one coliseum – the one in Rome, named after the “colosus” statue that used to stand outside it.Pedentry about names aside – this is a magnificent building we spent almost three hours wandering round the ruins and photographing it. One of the most unusual aspects of this amphitheatre is that you can go into the tunnels under the arena where the animals where kept before being hoisted up for the gladiators to fight.

We took a taxi ride over to Monastir today (about 15-20 mins drive from Sousse). Like souse there is an 8th or 9th Centuary Ribat (Fortified monastry) in the town. The main feature of which is a round tower called a nador. When ever I photograph towers I’m always on the lookout for interesting ways to compose the image. Here I managed to find an arch way, which if I contorted myself in to just the right position I could use to frame the tower.(Well, I thought it worked!)

Today is the day we remember Jesus death on the cross. He died to bring forgiveness to mankind. In 2003 I visited Coventry Cathedral which was destroyed during a bombing raid durring the second world war. I was struck by the simple cross on top of the alter. Made from burnt beams found in the destruction. Inscribed on the wall behind it two words that Jesus spoke as he was nailed to his cross: “Father Forgive”. - POTD 14 Apr 2006: Washing Up! 14 April 2006

24 April – St Michael
The statue of Saint Michael defeating Satan on the side of the new Coventry Cathedral.
One of the interesting things about this image is the digital modification that I had to do to it. When the picture was originally taken I was looking up at the statue. That meant the verticals in the image were converging towards the top of the picture. The image has been streached/compressed to make it appear as though the image is being view from straight on – something you can’t do with out a tall ladder or without moving a long way back and using a long telephoto lens.

It’s not the first time I’ve used this photo diary to moan about delivery services. I was a bit anoyed that this box was handed to me such that the tear in it wasn’t visible to me. The delivery man held it towards himself and thus pointing away from me. It was only afer I’d closed the door and carried it into the lounge to open that I saw the damage. By this time the van had driven off. Time to ring my supplier and get them to send replacements for the damaged contents. Not the way I wanted to start the bank holiday weekend.

30 April – Nottingham
After attending morning service in Southwell, and after a very nice lunch, Ann and I caught the tram into Nottingham. I had three objectives (photographically speaking) for the trip:- Firstly to photograph one of Nottingham’s new trams (they were still laying the tracks for them last time I visited the city)
- Secondly to get some updated images of the Robin Hood statue – I’ve had good sales from my last set and wanted to try to get yet another angle on it.
- Thirdly I wanted to photograph some of the unusual bits of Archetecture from the city.
The last objective is the subject of today’s image. The Olde Trip to Jerusalem pub, situated in the shadow of Nottingham Castle.
