“a city built by gentlemen for gentlemen”
is Malta’s capital city: Valletta is named after its founder, the respected Grand Master of the Order of St. John, Jean Parisot de la Valette. Started in 1566, Valletta was completed, with its impressive bastions, forts and cathedral, in the astonishingly short time of 15 years. Today, it is one of the most concentrated historic areas in the world. (source)

If you visit Malta take time to wander the streets of Valletta, you will find hidden gems around every corner. Look up to see statues, niches and interesting lanterns. Doors, windows and covered walkways and interesting door handles.

Lisa of the blog NorthWest Frame of Mind has decided to run a different project over the next 24 weeks. To try to show what is happening in different parts of the world (if you all join in) at a particular time of day.
If you would like to participate you have until next Saturday midnight to post a photo or write about what is happening in your part of the world between 16:00 – 17:00 this week. I hope you’ll join in! See links for more details.
Just another day in Paris…
For this week’s challenge, we want you to become a documentary photographer and attempt to capture a candid moment of a person, place, or thing.
There are many ways to photograph the town of Ludlow from Whitcliffe Common – castle views, church views, town views framed by the trees or not.
Zooming in on the old town shows you the undulating rooftops, the multitude of chimney pots of varying shapes and sizes, and even a window or two.
This weekly challenge is hosted by Dawn from ‘The Day After’ who invites participants to post pictures of any windows that they find curious, inviting, photogenic, or in some way tell a story. Visit her blog to see more windows and/or to join in with the challenge.
