Can't help much with pictures.

Just wanted to say good luck with the dio, the plan looks excellent. Those pot plants and the palm tree are great elements to the diorama.

Salut Mika

Si tu prevois de situer ton diorama en Tunisie, Algérie, Maroc ou autre ancienne colonie française, je te conseille te jetter un oeil ICI
Ce fonds géré par le Ministère de la Culture recense des milliers de photos anciennes. Tape juste le nom du pays en "localisation" et tu devrais trouver des choses interessantes...

Just check out this link for old AFN (Morocco Algeria and Tunisia) pictures. Just type the name of the country in the "localisation" box...

Hi José
The search page is very easy to use : just type "Tunisie", "Maroc" or "Algérie" in the "Localisation" search box (in French ) and check the "Avec image en ligne" box. Searching for "Tunisie" should yield 595 hits, "Maroc" 1120 and "Algerie" 2079 (but the hits for this country are mostly Roman ruins pics ).

Here are some examples :
Tunisia :



Morocco :


Algeria (to get this one I've added "rue" - street - in the "texte libre" search box) :
