Nur al-Din and Miriam Escape by fiveplustwo

Nur al-Din and Miriam Escape

In the story, Nur al-Din and Miriam the sash-maker, both Nur al-Din and Miriam are captured and 'Miriam comes up with a plan to make their escape. That night Nur al-Din slips out of the church and down to a boat in the harbor, as he was instructed. Once Nur al-Din is on board, the long-bearded captain slays each of the ten sailors one-by-one and lets them fall into the sea. The captain then orders Nur al-Din to make sail. Once they are out to sea, the captain tugs off his beard revealing himself to be Miriam in disguise. Miriam is a “stout-hearted and skilled sailor on the open sea, knowing all the wind shifts and what course to steer.”' Nur al-Din seems to be a bit seasick on the other hand. ;)

@kuva hahaha the first self-portrait without the self in the history of selfies... Don’t say that here at fiveplustwo we are not innovative! @overalvandaan lol, I had to shoot 2 zillions photos to get a couple decent!

@kali66 @summerfield @vignouse Thank you all! It was a fun theme. :)
@overalvandaan @domenicododaro Thank you both for your excellent photos! I guess it's more your self portrait than mine.
