    Wonderful travelogue, so glad to see your style of shooting doing Malta, I've loved seeing Portugal through your eyes.

    Very nicely done, look like you had a wonderful time.
    Take care,

    Thanks for your words. However, Iá afraid that I can´t understand your question about "the words that led to these shots"...headscratch.gif
    Would you be so kind to let me know what the question is about?
    Thanks

    I am sorry. What I meant was, where is the story that led you to take the pictures? In a journey there is always a story behind the shot. This gives your readers the chance to understand how you came upon the shot and why you took it.

    Of course it is not necessary but just fun for all of us to read.thumb.gif

    Thanks for the explanation. I am still new here and at the forums where I used to post, people sometimes do it, sometimes don´t. Anyway, I do agree that it adds to the understanding of images.
    Here, what I can tell is that I went to Malta for a vacation week. Unfortunately the weather didn´t cooperate much, but anyway, I enjoyed the trip. As you probably know, Malta is a very small island on the middle of the Mediterranean (btw Italy and Tunisia). They still live by traditional U.K. standards. Even driving there must be done by the left lane (which was a nighmare to meheadscratch.gif ).
    Malta has suffered from heavy German strikes during the 2nd WW and the most part of the buildings had to be rebuilt.
    More Malta images here:

    I always like to check in on Rui's threads. I'm never disappointed.

    Nice work as usual. You set high standards.

    BTW, when are they going to appoint you to the head of tourism for Portugal?

    :D

    Oh! Thank you very much for the kind compliment.
    I guess that the guys from the Portuguese Turism Bureau don´t know my work...:D at least, not so well as the great photographers I always meet in these forums! Again, thank you!thumb.gif
