the dzlytn tripoint
algeria libya tunisia
is believed to fall about 2km south of fort saint tunisia
so this view of the fort could well be the view from the tripoint
more or less exactly
as it might appear in early morning http://www.tunisia-stamps.tn/gdata/1945/t0391.jpg
tho it could as easily be the view from somewhere else
at a different time of day
not our first philatelic tripoint try
since bedenl & cdrwug are already in the album
i say adjacent now
rather than very near
as i said a couple of days ago
because after a fresh look it does indeed appear that the tripoint
actually falls on the arc itself
yowie
since the arc extends from marker 220 to 233
& the tripoint is located either at marker 220
where the arc evidently begins
or somewhere between markers 220 & 221
a position which would place it squarely upon the arc
& indeed cut the arc into a dzly segment
still nearly semicircular & about 20 miles long
& a very much shorter lytn companion segment
