In this picture there is a well in a Maltese home. Wells are becoming rare features in Maltese homes not only because people are living in smaller houses but also because wells are seen as added expense. Nearly 16% of the Maltese run-off water is wasted and the decrease in the number of wells in Malta is one of the main reasons why this water is being wasted. Maybe Local councils could help by creating various initiatives to have wells in houses to reduce the amount of run-off water that is being wasted. It is interesting to note that when Valetta was being built, the Knights of the Order of St. John, made the provision of wells compulsory for every house that was going to be constructed. It is high time that such regulations would be laid down and enforced once again!

This breathtaking view is a part of the Maltese Archipelago. It is taken from the Sliema seafront. The magnificent Fort shown, has just been restored. You could also see the difference between the abandoned houses at the bottom of the photo and Fort Manoel. The purpose of the Fort was to protect the natural Marsamxett harbour. At the lower part of the island there was once a hospital for people who were infected with a disease known as the plague. The Hospital was called Lazaretto hospital. This picture clearly shows how the Knights made good use of the promontories available without creating uneccesary eyesores! Fort Manoel in fact blends in easily with the natural surroundings. We should make use of such good practices in all construction projects!

Siggiewi also known as Città Ferdinand is one of the most beautiful places in Malta. Siggiewi can be a suitable place for a person who loves the peacefulness and tranquillity that only nature can provide. This photo was taken from a high place in the south-east of Siggiewi. I named it the three elements of nature because it shows the three elements which are water, earth and the wind. In summer the water that you can see in the picture evaporates and in winter it will be filled with rain water providings clean sources of fresh water. The picture also indicates the farmers' good use of arable land – creating numerous terraced fields on the otherwise unusable slopes!

This picture shows a lovely piece of art which is covered with trees and beautiful flowers which opens to this lovely garden were you can relax watching the trees and the melody of the birds. This picture is showing that nature can be beautiful and colourful.. The gate shows that when you enter that gate you are entering a completely different world where you can relax and enjoy some free time. The windmill is symbolizing the wind. The pathway takes you to different places where you can find ponds and all the other boundless marvels that nature has to offer.

The most famous public gardens of Malta, San Anton Gardens, were laid out by Grand Master Antoine de Paule as grounds for his summer residence, San Anton Palace. Successive Grand Masters enhanced and embellished the gardens, which have been open to the public since 1882. San Anton gardens are an environmental gem with graceful walkways, sculptures, ornamental pools, families of ducks, swans, birds and tortoises, and a small aviary. The gardens are a botanical delight with large variety of trees and plants from around the world, including cypress, jacarandas, palm trees and exotic plants which some of them are over three hundred years old. Such is the splendor of San Anton Gardens, that nowadays events including the Malta Horticultural show, open-air theater, drama and musical performances are held there.
