Here we were last weekend, in Għajn Tuffieħa Bay, to explore the amazing scenery.
These images are from the same place as in my last post. Just a little bit closer.

27 January 2019 – Għajn Tuffieħa Bay, Malta.
Fort Manoel / Il-Gżira Manoel Island, Malta January 2019.
Simplicity…
…no colors from Malta today. Just tried to understand my imagination…
Fanny may look a little “weird” here.
Like if she would say I’m sorry, sorry because she got out of her collar last night and escaped during an evening walk in Gzira with Charlene who will take care of Fanny when we are in Malaysia in February.
We were looking for her for hours, I was so worried. How could we find her, far away from home, in the dark and all traffic! It was absolutely terrible, until we saw her after several hours. She sat on the stairs outside our door, I couldn’t believe it was true. My beloved doggie had found her way back home by herself.

It was not Charlene’s fault that this happened, she´s great, cried a lot and couldn’t sleep for the whole night. Fanny is with here now to stay over the night so that she get used to her and her lovely home in Ħaż-Żebbuġ.
From below, between some high-rise blocks.
When comparing this type of architecture with my header showing the view of Valletta, it’s hard to imagine that when I took that picture I had these high-rise blocks just behind me.
Valletta is today one of the most concentrated historic areas in the world.
It doesn’t seem likely that today’s buildings will have such a long history in the future.
Yes, I know, we are all almost back to our everyday life again and it’s the third day of the New Year 2019. Some may have noticed that I let my blog rest during the festive season, that was without any special reason.
Above, two typical images of Malta. Greenery all over the island and yellow flowers, even though it’s winter. And when you see the different colored balconies in the cluttered but yet charming surroundings, it’s easy to guess where you are.
From yesterdays visit to Il-Gżira Manoel / Manoel Island in Gzira. I also noticed that the mimosa trees got buds and they will soon bloom, in February.
But, it feels colder than cold, especially when I walk with Fanny on the cliffs along the Mediterranean sea. Strong winds, 12 degrees but luckily the sun shines. The forecast says it will drop to 4 degrees at night!
The new year has just begun and we know nothing about the future but it looks bright with lots of love and joy. Take care out there!!!
Anita & Fanny
The images speak for themselves but the young girl seemed to enjoy being on the beach full of black sea weed.
Last weekend we went to Selmun Bay after we heard that there should be a nice dog-friendly sandy beach. Getting there was quite challenging, this is NOT a one way road! Fortunately, we didn’t meet any cars.
Here we are! Looks nice and very dry up here, but we have to climb down a steep slope to reach the beach.
We soon realize that the water and the sandy beach is black! Black and full of seaweed! And where the water is clear it’s very rocky and slippery which makes it difficult to walk, especially when holding Fanny in my arms.
But we manage to take a quick dip and a few meters from the shore the bottom consists of soft sand.
Back from the water and Fanny has decided that it’s enough for today. No more swimming, now I just want to relax and observe what others are doing on the beach and in that black muddy water.
Fanny is obviously not the only one who prefers to stay on dry land.
All pictures in this post were taken with my digital camera Panasonic Lumix TZ100 that I rarely use for the reason that I still haven’t learned how to use it. I used only P-mode but I’m pleased with the quality and will try to use it more. The weight is only 300 gram compared to my Canon 1,5 kilo.
It’s very dry now here on the island.
These are seen on many dry plants right now, I’ve no idea why.
A glimpse of Selmun church is seen in the background.
Fortunately, there are some plants that survive the heat.
On a Sunday in mid July, most people here in Malta choose to have fun on the beach, 30 degrees or swim in the sea, 26 degrees. I think I’ll do the same. Wish You a great Sunday, wherever You are on this planet. Splash!!! 
Some pictures from Malta in early March.
I have a little too much around me right now but tomorrow I’ll take the time to visit You!
You are my inspiration, take care out there!
Yesterday, when I went for my daily walk, I thought, why don´t take some pictures of my daily surrounding. This is just a very small part of all the impressions I encounter and probably it will be a part two.
There are many churches along the way. Powerful, big and beautiful from the outside but I rarely visit them.
A typical Maltese balcony from an odd angle and the typical blue sky.
It´s getting dark around five. This is “Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish Church”, Balluta, Saint Julian’s.
Now I´m only minutes from home. The sculpture “White Shadows” is an intriguing play of light and shadows. Made by Richard England and situated along Sliema promenade.
…or what’s behind and what’s in front of the window.
This picture was taken in a window display that reflects the background where I stand.
I did it for fun even though the result became a bit messy, but at least, colorful.
Examples of Malta’s architecture.
Fun in the sun at the Mediterranean Sea.
And finally, one of all the beautiful flowers that bloom here on the island.

Another hot day here in Malta, 36 degrees and 27 in the sea.

Är egentligen nöjd med min Canon Eos 70D och zoom / macro objektiv. Nackdelen är att den väger nästan 1,5 kilo vilket ibland känns lite onödigt att släpa på. Eftersom jag nästan alltid har med min kamera har jag letat i djungeln bland kompaktkameror och valde slutligen den här. Sprillans ny, har ännu inte hunnit testa den.
