Beautiful Malta

While London is cold, grey and dreary these days Malta is pretty warm so I decide to post a few pictures.

Malta is very photogenic and very different from my usual habitats so there is lots to “shoot” at. Especially for the Christmas trip where I had a new camera and was spending 16 days. Here is a couple of my favorite pictures and themes from this trip and others to Malta.

Red cat and wallMalta has many cats – some are pets others just roam around.

Balconies in VallettaTypical Maltese balconies can be seen everywhere.

Classical Maltese door and balconyThe decorative doors and windows begs to be admired whether they are falling apart or had a new lick of paint.

Beautiful wall statue in VallettaOld, rustic street decorations as niches, statues and signs can be found on a lot of buildings.

Last but not least I need to mention that I won two nights stay and the luxury hotel Kempinski in Gozo! They had a competition where you should write a blog post about Gozo and then the winner was found in a draw. If you are interested you can go read my piece here: Going to Gozo – A vacation within a vacation.

…and now it started to snow – again – in London [sigh].

  1. Ohhhhhhh…some nice pictures…you are always welcome here…u will come back to the sunshine in May (I think right)…here we are having some great weather, although today at around 5pm it suddenly started raining for a few mnutes then stopped hihi

  2. Last night I had to switch on the fan because it was so stuffy 🙂 Today…it looks like spring 🙂 Beautiful pics.

  3. @Bluefish Thanks! The panoramas were just shot as a number of pictures and then I use software afterwards to stitch it together. Windows Live Photo Gallery has this feature built in.

  4. Hi there, I checked out Window Live Photo Gallery but I’m not sure how it works. Do you mind to give me a quick tutorial please? Mange tak!

  5. It’s basically mark all the pictures you want to merge click Make > Create Panoramic Photo. Like described here.

    The trick is that the photos need to have enough elements that overlap in order for the program to figure out how they stitch together. Otherwise it will just spit out a single unstitched image.
