Lake Ledro view of a typical morning.

Early morning, no coffee yet, and a brisk walk towards the lake from the hotel through a carpet of dry leafs.  The sun was not yet visible for the mountains are too high to uncover the warmth for that day, at least not yet.  The silence was immaculate and the lake was a clear liquid mirror accept for those slight moments of trout beneath the surface.  I could almost hear the echo of my shutter resound on the other side of the lake.

The lake was real calm and the reflection was so vivid.

The gods high up in the skies veiling upon us down here, overlooking what the mountains hide.  up there almost unreachable prepared to unleash their powers upon the mortals.  The lake un-rippled, calm, mirroring the parallels of the surrounding, until a scavenger crosses right through creating waves that formed the V formation like that  of migrating birds.   Light is still faint but enough to create those different shades in relation to the distance from my self, almost like our lives where at times things don’t seem so clear, others where everything seems to fall in place.

This hut is a recreation of the typical inhabitants of Valle Di Ledro, I tried to take myslef away from today and imagine how it might have been back then.

Whilst walking west I realised how well maintained this place is, and how people here live in contact with nature with all the comforts without damaging her equilibrium.  The day before this we walked the whole perimeter of the lake bringing nothing more than sore legs but a hell of experience and appreciation.

The intensity of light is now evident and that gives me nothing more than a sign that one of the tips of the mountains should turn orange shortly and start enjoying the first heat of dear sol.  Waiting for the right moment I positioned myself close to the lake to get a glimpse of the mountains reflected in the lake but some bastard just found the great idea to come fish exactly where the reflection was just perfect.

We left Early so that we could avoid the heat, the traffic, and anything that could have obstacled our objective of the day. The destination was Marsaxlokk, the objective was Street Photography and the location was the market.

This Shot was actually taken in Sliema but exactly after leaving Marsaxlokk. I really liked the fast moving clouds as they interacted with the un-movable buildings.

“Shadows of the Past”

Exploring hidden Paths in Cospicua


The official opening held at the Bir Mula Heritage in Cospicua on the 26th of March launched not only a collection of twelve black and white images depicting Cospicua at night but also a story of how the past of every one of us has an effect on our surroundings.

His excellency Dr Ugo Mifsud Bonnici made an official opening followed by Kevin Casha, who both gave their point of view from different perspectives.

I would like to thank amongst all Dr Ugo Mifsud Bonnici, Kevin for his openness and positive critique, Godwin Darmanin for promoting and handling the organizational process before the opening, John Vella for hosting this exhibition at the Bir Mula Heritage, and last but not least My wife for her patience.

The exhibition will be available for viewing till the end of July. Open on Saturdays and Sundays from 10:00 AM till 12:00 PM or by appointment on info@birmula.com.

Looking at my past, lost in the depths of the sea, pushed ashore today I rest on this solid ground, dried out from my luxurious shine by the scorching rays of the god of light.  Overlooking my fellow companions, watching them following the path that I hath laid.
