Doors of Malta

Photo credits to Dr. Jeffrey Twitchell-Waas, a friend currently residing in Malta after a work stint in Singapore as a Dean of College in an international school in Singapore.

I once told Jeff that I love rustic doors and he said he had just the right thing for me.  He sent me photos of these vibrant doors found all around the cobbled streets of Malta.  I absolutely love the solid colours on some of these doors, especially the warm reds.

These photos formed part of an assignment he was working on for some literature on Malta's tourism.  Jeffrey, I believe, must have taken that extra effort to snap a couple more of these for me. 

Malta is not your usual choice destination for travel but if you love history, amazing architecture with a strong Catholic influence (98% Catholics) with 350 churches around Malta (a church for every 1,000), this could be your next stop.

Marina Bayfront, Singapore

Marina Bayfront.  Taken with a Canon Powershot SX30is.  A nightmare for night shots, but managed to eliminate some noise here.  One of my better shots.  Love the trail of lights coming from the barricades.

On a quiet street in Melaka, Malaysia

A random shot of a shop, no sign of any activity, the paint is old, thick layer of dust...wonder what's in there. Location: a street in Melaka, Malaysia.  Who's bike is that? Taken with a Sony Cybershot.
