This synagogue presumed 6th century BC (Fall of Jerusalem to

Babylonians). Legend has it that Jewish settlers first arrived on

Djerba after the destruction of Jerusalem's First Temple. Having set

up their own community, they refused to return to Jerusalem when Ezra

arrived to announce the temple's reconstruction. They placed a curse

on Ezra and elected to remain on the island, where a Jewish community

still exists in the villages of Hara Kbira and Er Riadh.

a couple of things.. u should not shoot scenes like this with a tele.. because the depth of the room is lost due to perspective compression.. secondly use a smaller apperture.

Me gusta el recorte aplicado, así como la combinación de colores y formas. Quizá no me convence tanto la relativa falta de definición del arco en primer término. Pese a ello, una toma exquisita.
