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.

The picture shows a very big field full of bright flowers full of life and in this field there is possibly the biggest contrast that you could ever imagine, an enormous pile of rocks, nearly like a small hill. Surprisingly enough this used to be a quarry. Although filling up the quarry with uneccessary construction waste was a great sustainable effort, unfortunately it seems to have gone quite of hand since the construction waste has kept on accumulating forming the looming hill that can be seen at the back of the picture. While such sustainable efforts should be promoted, necessary care should also be given not to go overboard as shown above. This effects the not only the flora of the area but also the possible underlying water tables which can easily be contaminated if other types of waste are thrown in the area.

What a wonderful view of Marsaxlokk harbour. But wait…What’s that in the background? It is Delimara’s Power Station and it is ruining the view!! It is also polluting the air around it with the fumes the chimneys are omitting and it isn’t very healthy for people who live in the areas of Delimara either. It also has a very bad impact on the tourists which come to visit Marsaxlokk .And what about the impact on the environment, especially the fish in the sea and the birds? The fishermen are the most affected by this monster. If we become more aware of energy consumption and its consequences it will be easier for all of us to decrease our reliance on fossil fuels. We must all understand that every drop counts and that undoubtedly all our efforts do make a difference.
