The exhibition “La Capitale in Chiaroscuro” hosted at the Trattoria Omerta in Valletta draws to an end this month the 31st of July 2010. So those who have not yet managed to view this exhibition will still have time till the end of July. From Valletta the collection will be going to Italy for another exhibition in Valle Di Ledro.

Blue skies, cumulus clouds, inspired by the dominance of the silence that lays beforth me. Valletta was speaking again or else it was myself who started to listen again. Hopping from one rock formation to another, beneath the fortifications I realize the grandeur of this architectural marvel. It is unbelievable that this fortification has undergone two great wars and they are still standing, and which probably will still stand triumphantly for the years to come.
All right so it’s a sunny day and it turns out to be one after a detrimental four day long foggy type of weather which does not permit you to see up to a distance of a few kilometers (Maybe I am too sarcastic here). So together with my wife we decided to make a visit to the old city and enjoy the sun there and chilling out. Grabbed the Cam and off we went.
There is no one to wave to, and as I am slowly lifted to the second level towards passport control I ask myself if there is really anything to check, I pass through like an ant through Porte des bombes. The stillness in the area is unbelievable, the fluorescent tube just on top of me flashes through its intermittent behavior as if trying to survive its last moments of shine, the plants green but lifeless. The British white haired couples settled in an un-organized method on the seats remaining in the departures lounge, myself in an un-obstructed angle, anxious but calm, waiting and observing.
