Bedman in Nabeul

So my body decided it’s the right time to switch from headache and some strange pain in my right eye to some lovely angina. So I’m more than ever before back to bed and – according to the doctor – this shouldn’t change the next few days. God bless. So basically all I can do is thank Nikon for giving me a laptop to play around with in bed and try to swallow some of that tee. And of course take the penicillin which seems to have no effect at all (except on my stomach that is). I can’t remember being sick that often before. Obviously, my body is getting old.

So after all this completely irrelevant information I’d like to proceed with some more fantastic photographs from good old Tunisia.

Did I mention before how creative Tunisian people are?

So this guy seems doing something.

Contrary to this thing which seems to be out of business for quite some time.

More cat photos. Or: Urban landscape.

So this is what you’re doing in all all-incl club in January. Exciting.

As taking pictures of people playing darts got insanly boring I went for a walk on the beach.

Yep, that’s some serious clowds.

Next day I went to Nabeul (no idea if it’s spelled like that).

Somehow, I found my way to a rather large market that was free of tourists for a change.

I have a few more photos to show, however, I think this set might be the most interesting. So I guess that’s it pretty much from Tunisia and I can’t deny that I’m disappointed. Maybe I should’ve taken French instead of Latin in school. Then again, Latin might be the handiest language of all.

Actually, I thought I could add some semi-philosophical thoughts at the end of this entry as that’d be a nice way of wasting time. Staying in bed all day long is not what will go down as super exciting in my very personal history. Just one thing: I like the size of the Leica and especially the lenses. I carried the camera with lens attached round my neck and the extra lens usually in my jacket’s pocket – do that with an Canon EF 35L or Nikon 50G (latter might actually fit in a larger jacket). So that got me thinking again: Why on earth is there no serious digital rangefinder? The M8 is pathetic. The Panasonic G1 sensor is just too small. So? Canon? Nikon? Yeah, I guess that’s enough. Those lines took a few minutes of my not-so precious time.

Thank you.
