Religion plays a major role in the political landscape of any country, even those that proclaim separation of church and state. For example, the mosque is by far the most characteristic and often the most prominent structure in Islamic towns and cities. In Tunis, they dominate the medina, or old city.
In this image, I blend a political symbol -- the national flag of Tunisia, bearing the Islamic star and crescent -- with the dome and minaret of an important mosque. The golden light of evening adds a suitable spiritual dimension to the image, but the real meaning is in the symbolic linkage of the national flag and the religious structure.
