My Photos



 Malta is my country and Senglea is the name of my City. Senglea (L-Isla in Maltese) is a city in the east of Malta. It is one of the Three Cities of Malta, the other two are Cospicua and Vittoriosa, and has a population of slightly below three thousand people. The city is the most populated city in Europe taking the size of it. This City managed to resist the Ottoman invasion at the Siege of 1565. It curries the name of the Grand Master who built it Claude De La Sengle.

My name is Joseph. I was born in the mid 40's. I had the first camera when I was 12 years old and it was a box hi...hi. I found out that this is a great hobby especially now that I have all the time in the World to go around and shoot these beautiful landscapes. When I look to all these beautiful places I realize what a wonderful World we live in.

The Bakery at Vittoriosa
 The old Naval Bakery (now the Maritime Museum) was built on a slip way where The Knights of St. John had their Dockyard which was demolished around the year 1840. It was an innovational building with steel columns. The Bakery used to supply bread and biscuits to the British warships at Vittoriosa. On a personal note I still remember the British Navy ships getting bread through a wooden board hanging from the building to the ship

Azure Window - Dwejra



The Azure Window is a natural arch on the Island of Gozo. It's like a table-like rock over the sea. This and the nearby Inland sea are popular scuba diving sites.

Dwejra is a tourist village and is part of the village of St. Lawrence in Gozo. The water of the bay is very clean and suitable for swimming, boating and scuba diving. A lot of big movies were shot at this place. 

The arch of the Azure Window is disintegrating, large pieces of rock keep falling from the arch. Within a few years the Arch will disappear. The arch is in a dangerous condition.People are warned not to walk on it.
