I was unable to keep up with my blogging plans this week. Summer has started, but with so many things delayed due to the pandemic, it looks like it will be a while until work quietens down a bit, if it ever will. So there will be no recent photo this week, but today I’m again sharing a photo that is both a throwback and … Continue reading San Pietru fil-Ktajjen
Keeping with the theme of (neo)classical statues, today’s photo takes us back almost a year to a stay in Sydney at the end of autumn in the southern hemisphere. On my way back from the conference in Wellington, I stopped for a week in Sydney to visit relatives there. I had enough time to also visit some attractions there, including The Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney. … Continue reading Sylvan Nymph
Autumn has properly started this week, with the weather finally getting a bit cooler and the rains starting. The clouds have also become interesting over the last few weeks, which means more photography is on the horizon. I only hope the traffic hassles don’t make me give up on that. Google photos has also been kind enough (!) to remind me that this time of … Continue reading Three Trees
A short distance down the road from the chapel of last week’s photo is what I think is one of the prettier roads in Malta. It’s an arterial road, albeit a narrow one, linking the Rabat area with Attard. While I’m not entirely sure which trees exactly will be affected by the Central Link project, I won’t be surprised if most of these trees will … Continue reading Triq l-Imdina
Last week, after work, I popped over to the generally busy road that leads from Attard to Rabat and Mdina. If you’ve been following local news you’ll recognise it as the road at the centre of attention in the controversial Central Link project. (Google it and get lost down the rabbit hole.) So I figured I’d better prioritise any photography I had in mind for … Continue reading Madonna tal-Vitorja
One of the walks that R and I did together this year was a pleasant amble along pasture and farmland in the north-eastern lakes. The walk visited Dalemain mansion and the tiny village of Dacre, but that will have to wait. A good part of the walk had Dunmallard hill in full view, and I thought that this view of pasture, farmland, and the hills … Continue reading Dunmallard Hill
As I prepare to write up this week’s throwback post I notice that I have already shared all edited photos from last year’s visit to the Lake District. Which is a good thing, as it’s almost a year since that happened. This doesn’t mean, however, that I’m done with all photos from that trip. Last year we also spent a couple days in Guildford, meeting … Continue reading Lake and Boat House
Today I’m sharing another photo from a walk in Elterwater in the English Lake District last year. A stretch of the walk follows a well-maintained path along the Skelwith river. It’s a very enjoyable piece, with an open section of Elterwater park across the river and the fells beyond. Since the path is so well-maintained and level, it’s a popular area with families and visitors … Continue reading Elterwater Park
For this week’s throwback post I’m sharing another photo from the walk starting in Glenridding. This one is towards the end of the walk, after passing by Lanty’s tarn, as Grisedale valley opens up before you. This must be one of the nicest reveals in the walks I did so far in the lakes. As you can see, some weather was rolling in. Even in … Continue reading Grisedale Valley
Today I thought I’d share a photo from what I consider to be a rather special place. Call it romantic if you will. A highlight from our first visit to the English Lake District, almost ten years ago, was a circular walk visiting Elterwater, the Skelwith and Brathay rivers (including a couple waterfalls) and Little Langdale with its pretty tarn. Perhaps it was the location, … Continue reading Elterwater
For today’s throwback post I’m going back to a research visit at CERN last November. In something that seems to have become a tradition, one of the nights we took the tram down town and went to the Bains des Pâquis for a heart-warming fondue. On the way back, we walked the promenade alongside Quai du Mont-Blanc, which is where I took this photo. Actually, … Continue reading Quai du Mont-Blanc
This blog post has been a long time coming. Just over three years ago now, while we were in the process of returning to Malta, I had this thought that I wanted to choose a selection of photos from our time in England to set up a solo exhibition. Over the next few months I made the selection and coordinated the venue, initially targeting the … Continue reading Seven Years in England – Exhibition Opening
