The shadows lengthen and the golden glow from the lamps casts mysterious shadows on the silent buildings. Each house seems to be slumbering, dreaming.
The windows are shuttered and the doors are barred.
The streets are deserted – not a sound breaks the stillness except for the chiming of the cathedral clock every quarter hour.
Silence. Stillness. And mystery.
Perfect ingredients for a romantic walk on a chilly winter evening.
This tiny walled town on the hill never disappoints.
Mdina on a winter evening is the perfect place to escape and walk back in time.
Malta is very much like a medieval town to me, still has the air, you know?
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of the time I read the book The Siege of Malta, a few years ago :)
Beautiful warm night shots Loree! Thank you for sharing them with us here.
