malta through our eyes: a photo essay

Posted on

It’s been a LOOOOONG time since we were in Malta, 9 years to be precise.

It was a last minute add-on for our trip to Europe, tossing up between Malta and Morocco and we chose Malta.

And were we happy with our choice? Most definitely! It’s another country we want to go back to.

Malta was such a little surprise package and today we were just reminiscing about it. Subsequently, a little photo essay ensued to be shared. Hope you enjoy it!

Have you been to Malta? Tell us about it!

weekly photo challenge: fresh

Posted on

We experienced plenty of “fresh” moments on the Camino; freshly squeezed orange juice, fresh morning dew, fresh morning air and fresh faces!

Our interpretation of fresh for the challenge this week: fresh rain water flowing along the path.

This was our second last day on the Camino and we were faced with horrendous rain. In some parts, we were wading through ankle deep water.

By the end of the day, we emptied about half a cup of water from our shoes and could wring water from our socks.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.

Please feel free to leave us your thoughts.

 

weekly photo challenge: wall

Posted on

We’ve chosen to share “The Wall of Tears” found on Isabela Island of the Galapagos Islands. It is about 25 metres tall and its construction is said to have been the cause of many deaths.

It was built in the late 1940s through to 1950s by prisoners on the island.

This wall was the result of many tears as well as locals saying that cries can be heard coming from it sometimes.

Have a fabulous weekend!

#exploretheelements – travel photoblogging challenge

Posted on Updated on

We’ve just received a nomination for a rather fun challenge/competition (#ExploretheElements) from MiaMusings – so thank you for tagging us.

The idea is to publish 4 photos that represent each of the elements: earth, water, fire and air. Here are our interpretations 🙂

1/ Earth – represents the hard, solid objects of the earth. Associated with stubbornness, collectiveness, physicality and gravity.

2/ Water – represents the fluid, flowing, formless things in the world. Associated with emotion, defensiveness, adaptability, flexibility, suppleness and magnetism.

Water

3/ Fire – represents the energetic, forceful, moving things in the world. Associated with security, motivation, desire, intention and an outgoing spirit.

4/ Air – represents things that grow, expand and enjoy freedom of movement. Associated with will, elusiveness, evasiveness, benevolence, compassion and wisdom.

Air

And before we sign off, we need to nominate some people to get involved. Here are 5 blogger pals whose work we thoroughly enjoy (apologies if you have already been nominated or are not interested in participating).
