more coastline scenery .......

Malta coastline

This photo was taken by Laetitia some time ago whilst they took a trip on one of the local boat rides.

Sunset - Sunday

Here's a serious of shots I just took towards the sunset changing the camera's settings.

St. Peter's Parish church in Birzebbuga

Building on this Church started in the 1926 and was finished in 1951. The first ever statue of St.Peter for this church was paid by Carmelo Asciak and built in Rome during the 1947. This is the Parish Church of my home town. Photo was taken yesterday evening.

Pembroke

Pembroke origins date back to the Knights of St.John of Jerusalem. They built two towers along this coast. The British Service built Barracks here that where named after their patron St. George and also St. Patrick and St.Andrew, Ireland and Scotland's Patrons respectively.

The Big clock that you see on the tower was built in 1903 and is part of what is known the 'old guard room'.

I wish you all a lovely Sunday.

under construction ..

I am posting a photo of this street for the reason that after 10 years of being like this it is now under construction......and will post a photo of when it is nicely finished.

I hope you all had a happy Valentine's day yesterday.

and more hail !!

here are some photos I took early this morning ......

Snow in Malta???

Snow in Malta ??? now is that possible or not?? Of course not, however fields in Victoria, Gozo, were this morning blanketed in white after a freak hailstorm hit the sister island at around 6 a.m.

A reader told timesofmalta.com that upon looking out of the window soon after she woke up, she saw all the fields in front of her covered with hail. She told timesofmalta.com that footprints in front of her doorstep measured some 2 inches deep. Picture and information from the times of malta website.

Big and small

Driving home the other day I noticed these two planes standing next to each other and i said to myself 'wow what a difference'. SO I decided to take a shot and post it. I know that the big one is a russian cargo plane that comes to malta everyweek.
