Malta, quo vadis?
Good morning all!
A traditional wooden fishing boat, limestone buildings, a church (well, a chapel, but you get my drift), and blue skies... Seems pretty idyllic, especially since this photo was taken in January.
But look again and you can see that the fishing boat is abandoned and that concrete buildings are towering in the background.
Which is the real Malta nowadays?
Cracks are showing but this ever-changing country is still an amazing place to be in. There is so much packed into these 27 km (17 miles) that you can spend years here and still keep on discovering people, sub-cultures and things.
Sometimes I just sit back and take a look around me and realise that once you look beyond the obvious you can find a whole new world you've been shutting yourself off from.
So here's to more discovery, more awareness.
Have a lovely day!
