This week’s throwback photo is a rather special one. I made this on an afternoon walk around Qammieħ point at the tail end of last year. I remember the weather was a bit miserable, and I don’t think I did much in the way of photography. Certainly this was the only photo I processed, and mostly because I had been meaning to make a photo … Continue reading Għar il-Latnija
In the late summer we managed a couple outings where, after a picnic, we spent some time watching the evening sky. I had my camera with me, with the tripod, intending to make some photos of the sky as dusk turned to night. On the first occasion, where I made the photos I’m sharing today, I deliberately filled the frame with the sky itself, keeping … Continue reading Evening Sky
Closing off this week with one last throwback photo from a walk around Mtaħleb last Christmas. Today’s photo also shows the inlet at Ras id-Dawwara, this time from the other side. I know those cliffs are mostly overhanging, but some part of me keeps wondering just how climbable they are. I can see some rather obvious possibilities, perhaps one day I just need to head … Continue reading Ras id-Dawwara
Starting this week with a final photo from an outing in San Anton Gardens early this autumn. Unusually, this year I find myself with a very significant backlog of photos to share. Indeed, some of these go back to the tail end of last year. Not to mention a number of photos from recent outings that I still need to process. There are good reasons … Continue reading Japanese Pagoda
I’m back this week with another throwback from the walk around Mtaħleb last Christmas. The greater part of the walk involved paths much like this one, close to the cliff edge, with excellent views throughout. And yet it’s a fairly easy walk, with clearly defined paths that don’t get too close to the edge (or in any case one can easily stay further in). I … Continue reading Cliff-Top Path
The photo I’m sharing today is another one from a particularly productive outing at San Anton Gardens at the beginning of autumn. While the star of the show was undeniably Kitty, it’s hardly the only cat in these gardens. Many of these were lazing about in the still-warm afternoon. Obviously somewhere that commands a good view of the neighbourhood – or what a friend of … Continue reading Lazy Afternoon
This week’s throwback, from a walk around Mtaħleb last Christmas, shows the narrow gap at Miġra l-Ferħa, where it is said that the Norman invasion of Malta began. I had taken a very similar photo to this one before, which I also shared on this blog. That one, however, was shot on film, and the point of view is a little different. Sometimes there are … Continue reading Miġra l-Ferħa
I’ve fallen quite a bit behind on my photography lately. I have been photographing less frequently than I would like, and when I do it seems to take me forever to get around to processing the photos. I could say that I’ve been busy, but then isn’t that always the case? So rather than complain, I’m simply finding a few moments to write up a … Continue reading Valletta from Tigné Point
For this week’s throwback post I’m sharing another photo from the Christmas day walk last year. This one was taken closer to Miġra l-Ferħa, on the way to Ras id-Dawwara. In fact you can see the car park on the clifftop at the centre. The title of this post refers to the cave that can just about be seen on the bottom right of the … Continue reading Għar Doson
A few weeks ago (well, about a month already) R and I headed down to Miġra l-Ferħa for an evening picnic and some quiet time stargazing. It was going to be a moonless night, so we wanted to repeat what we had planned with some friends of ours a month before. This time, though, we were on our own, and as luck would have it, … Continue reading Jupiter Rising
I’m even later than usual with my throwback post this week, as the last few days have been rather busier. As I catch up on things, I’m sharing two photos, taken within minutes of each other, of what is perhaps my favourite view from a walk I did last Christmas day. Sometimes the light changes so much in a few minutes, in this case becoming … Continue reading Ras id-Dawwara
I find myself running a bit late this week, again, as I write this first blog post for the week. I’m sharing a few more photos from that outing in San Anton Gardens with R a few weeks ago. This time, however, you get to see the main excuse for that outing – a resident kitten (well, more of a cat now, I’d think) that … Continue reading Hello Kitty
