Triton Fountain, Valletta
“The Triton Fountain stands just outside Valletta’s city gates – Tritons were merman-like creatures in Greek mythology. The sheer power of the figures couldn’t fail to catch anyone’s eye, especially as it was a beautiful sunny morning which really brought out the colour of the bronze and the verdigris.”

“Petra is an amazing place to visit. You approach down a narrow defile, or siq as it’s called in Arabic, and emerge to see this spectacular Treasury building. It’s breathtaking, and all the more so because it’s hewn out of the living rock.”

Lonesome Pine
“It’s autumn in the Southern Hemisphere and the Aussies have deserted the beach for a few months until the sun warms up a bit. Meanwhile, those of us that grew up in a colder climate still venture down on sunny days and enjoy the cooler breezes and ozone straight off the Southern Ocean.”

“I took this photo of our German pal Walter at our favourite beer shack. He’s quite a local sight, riding round on his purple LoveMobile and wearing his bobby’s hat instead of a proper crash-helmet!”
