[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Birgu one of the three well known cities of Malta was established on the Grand Harbour in the vicinity of Fort St Angelo. On the arrival of the Knights of St. John in 1550, Birgu served as capital city as it met their naval requirements better than the former Imdina which was sitiuated inland. At that time Birgu also served as Malta's principal harbour and played a great role in the Great Siege of Malta in 1565. Ater that siege, at that time under Grand Master La Vallette, the knights gave Birgu the title of Citta Vittoriosa meaning "victorious city".
In this photo you can see part of the marina with some of the late medieval architecture of which Birgu is rich in, making this city a very interesting historical place to visit.

The photo was cropped and adjusted slightly in curves.

Hello Salvu!

Another beautiful shot that could very well illustrate any Tourist board circular. Great details of the marina. The big sailboat is a big bonus in your composition, avoiding the monotony of the horizontal layers. Well seen and captured!

Nicely composed shot with blue sky and even darker hue of water. In between the horrizon with all light colors. The white boat is notable which captured fully.

Thanks for sharing a beautiful picture from Malta. Someday I shall visit Malta for tourism.

That big sailboat add a beautiful "note" to this picture.
