Looking down the sight to the Magic http://bit.ly/Am0Pwn

A knight in shining armour

Im am struggling to remember what exactly this building was used for. I want to call it a palace but I know in my head that it wasn’t. A person of high regard lived here in Valetta, Malta. That’s all that I can scratch from the insides of my brain. Perhaps someone out there can help jog my memory.

Looking down onto Malta

Malta was great for photos. The place is so unique and the ship made a great view point to take photos from. This was one time where I didn’t get off the ship. Instead choosing to relax and enjoy the pool while no guests were there.

It seems like I didn’t post a photos on friday. I would put it down to computer error but to be honest it was all me. I would make the excuse of a new job and other blah blah blah excuses that I could make up but I won’t. Instead I will be posting an extra one this week on saturday. Tis also means that I need to go out in London at some point this week as my current supply is running a bit thin. If you want photos of my hand or random person then i’m sorted for qa while but for some this might not be the case.

See you all tomorrow.

The Colour of Malta

Every building in Malta is built out of the same Maltese rock. This means that an orange glow is emitted from the country when you approach. Ok perhaps its not that bright but you certainly notice the sand colour of every building.

These houses overlook the harbour. You would think that they have a great view but you can’t see the large industrial estate that is the other side of the dock.

Lots and lots of green

I hardly ever am able to post a landscape shot. Since I live in London I mainly focus on cityscapes and architecture but would love to visit the English country side to get more like this. Well this isn’t really the English countryside as you can probably tell. This is a landscape in Erice, Malta.

I am making it a 2012 resolution to get more shots like this. The top of my list if a trip to the south of Wales as I have a friend there who I haven’t seen in ages. It also tapes the the countryside is excellent and can’t wait to get some sunset pictures on the coastline.

The temple in Malta

On friday I posted a photo from Segesta in Malta. That was of the remains of an amphitheatre and this is the temple on the same site. 

I am hoping to get out and about in London soon to get some good christmas pictures. The place is covered in christmas lights and I haven’t had the time to get out in ages  as I have been so busy.

Have a good weekend.

Does someone Segest a show?

My cleaver title is meant to tell you where this photo was taken…. no really you didn’t get it from that? Well its an amphitheatre in……. Segesta. NO I hadn’t heard of it either but it is a great place in Malta with 2 Greek ruins. 

Positioned on Mount Barbaro, the archeological site, about seventy kilometers southwest of Palermo, reflects the presence of several ancient civilizations. The Elymians from Asia who settled in Greece in 1200BC.

I will post a picture of the temple at a later date. Enjoy the weekend everyone.

X Marks the Sky

I have to admit, I have been a bit lazy at the moment but I prefer to say that I have been busy. Truth be told its a bit of both but the fact is that I need to go out into London soon to explore some more places.

This photo is from Valetta, Malta. The whole city is built from this local stone, which means that every building is the same colour. The streets are narrow and you can get some interesting shots if you just look up.

The Red Room

I was luckily enough to take photos while on a tour around the Maltese capital, Valetta.

We walked all around the town taking in the sites but we also went into what used to be the royal palace.

Malta was one of my favorite ports. Mainly for the good food and internet. Sad, I know. The town we docked in was named Valetta, a beautiful town with streets and alleys like this one everywhere.

All of the buildings are made out of this local stone, which gives the sandy colour to all of the area.
