Description In the city of Matmata in Tunisia, there is this place, a small part of a troglodyte town.
George Lucas came here to shoot some scenes for the Attack of the Clones Star Wars movie, depicting a city of tatooine

Lucas used a lot of Tunisian references. The Burnous are traditional coats, and jedi wears that. South of Tunisia, there is the city of Tataouine, where some shots of the phantom menace were done.

anyway, some contrast and tone adjustments
hope you like
and if you're a star wars fan, this is a must to see

You're right, this is a must to see! I have to go there sometimes... it should be amazing to say: "hey, do you know I've been on Tatooine?"

Wonderful picture

I can't believe I never noticed this one before. I love it.

Put aside the fact that I'm a huge closet Star Wars fan.

j'aime beaucoup le point de vue, et la composition de l'image est très intéressante. Elle serait parfaite si elle incluait aussi le bas de l'escalier, à droite.
superbe travail sur les couleurs.

Putting aside that I am a Star Wars fan, I find that this shot is visually appealing. Love the 'old' feel that radiates from this site - and because it has noone in it or any human activity it feels like we are 'strolling' through silent streets that speak of an ancient civilization long gone. Hmmm, it mind have added more visual interest (and changed the feel of the image) if you had one lone person sitting on the steps.

"Lucas used a lot of Tunisian references. The Burnous are traditional coats, and jedi wears that. "
Thanks for the culteral info - you learn something new everyday

Ahh so many comments. Do you do photography professionally?

It seems you do a real lot of travelling, so I'm curious as to whether you do it to photograph or whether it's for some other reason..

dont know if anyone else mentioned yet, cause I dont feel like going through the other 101 comments about how great it is, but that city was also featured in a video game. Call of Duty 2.

oh yeah... great work!
