These elegant fishers, too, peacefully patrol and dance around the salt lake of Tunis adorned by its sunset.. pictured by Skander Chihi in awe of Tunisia's guest: Flamingos.. Join in!
.. and their fellow humans embrace the call of Mother Nature, here in the heart of the lake, all while eyeing a bustling city from afar: Skyline of Tunisia's beloved Tunis through the lens of its ambassador Sana Ellarbi
And here, we see them altogether: A duo of fishers and a lone, careless flamingo relishing a shallow yet lush lake, at the foot of its ageless guardian: Fort Santiago off Tunisia's Tunis. Portrayal by Skander Chihi
As if we were bewitched by that fortress, such a fairy tale, popping out of the lake, we sailed, awestruck by its resilient, ochre rampart, eyeing modern-day Tunis, and centuries of conquests and craving over Tunisia's millennial metropolis. - Fort Santiago captured by Mourad Ben Cheikh Ahmed
.. and we looked back, contemplating the patio.. and eras of glory and fury, shines and shades, in this timeless setting that could have been pictured centuries ago.. Through the lens of Tunisia's urban explorer Mourad Ben Cheikh Ahmed aka Lost in Tunis - amid its lake
Back to here and now.. we grasp a longer glance at the mirroring, pristine lake reflecting today's Tunis. We can't help but.. reflect on its pursuit of a new identity. Skyline shot by Ismail Saïdi from Tunisia.. Stay authentic!
As the day comes to an end, we blend into this golden, warm yet frozen-in-time scenery orchestrated by those tranquil ducks off Tunisia's bustling Tunis, immortalized through the lens of Nour Toumi - Escape!
