As promised in my last post, I will show you some scenes of Valletta after sundown. We locals like to divide Valletta into two parts: the upper commercial part and the lower residential part. In truth there are shops and residents all over Valletta and during the day there is hustle and bustle all over the city. But as night falls, the teeming streets quiet down and the echo of footsteps of a few strollers reverberates in the stillness. At night Valletta belongs once more to the ghosts of the Knights that built it. So come with me for a short walk through the lower city
past houses
and palaces
a trickling fountain
a church
and the old theatre.
(I would have liked to take you on a longer walk but the battery on my camera ran out which means I have a good excuse to return soon and explore more charming nooks in the city.)
These are amazing photos!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adventure, it looks like another world, love it!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the details of the buildings, especially the carvings and metalworks.
ReplyDeleteSuper enchanting Loree...exquisitely beautiful! I love the golden glow they carry! Stunning!
ReplyDeleteIf it wasn't for those two signs, I would really expect to hear some knights! Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHow nice ! I remember when we walked through Valetta but I didn't take pictures at that time (2004) but filmed a lot. It's such a beautiful town.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see your home someday.
ReplyDeleteKeep the brilliant and beautiful photos coming.
ReplyDeleteYou indeed are lucky to be living in such a culture and history rich city... :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great day, Loree. Warm here today. Lovely. No jacket needed to run. Amazing ~ xox Alexandra
ReplyDeleteLoree, I just noticed your updated "about me" and loved reading more about you and your life on Malta...
ReplyDeleteYour night photos give a sense of mystery to the deserted night streets and architecture... I hope that you will return with a fully-charged battery and treat us to more of these.
Bisous,
