| Malta |
The 2005 gallery of pictures from Malta posted here was intended to portray—realistically or not—only the beautiful, the charming, and the perfect. This time round, I've gone for what I hope is a more sophisticated, more honest portrayal of Malta & me, despite my not being physically in any of the shots. I've selected a small subset of the more than 1000 pictures I took during the visit; they are presented in chronological order (contra the geographical clustering I did last time) with parenthetical notations of location. (Disclaimer: Locations are from memory, so if anyone finds an error, please let me know!)
