Dan ir-ritratt juri l-qagħda li jinsab fiha Wied Blandun. Hawnhekk naraw kif dan il-post hekk sabiħ qed iservi ta’ post fejn in-nies jgħarmu l-iskart tagħhom. Dan il-wied jinstab bejn il-Fgura u Għajn Dwieli. Dan huwa wieħed mill-isbah widien naturali f’Malta fejn wieħed jista jirrilassa fis-sbuħija tan-natura, iżda dan qiegħdin nitilfuh minħabba li mhux qed nieħdu ħsiebu. Sabiex insebħu dan il-wied għandna; inwaħħlu cameras biex min jinqabad jeħel multa, ikun hemm għaqdiet volontarji li jnaddfu dan il-wied regolarment u jkomplu jitħawlu iktar siġar biex inkomplu nsebħu dan il-post. Finalment, irridu naraw li dawn l-affarijiet isiru u ma jaqawx fuq widnejn torox !

Want to have a bath with a view?!! ….. Easy, follow the main road to Marsalforn from Victoria and there you are. You can even have company. Two bath tubs, one inside the other, in the valley, on the right hand side of the road. To compliment, two car batteries, perhaps to have some light? What’s going on? Aren’t people aware of the Civic Amenity Sites or free pickup from our homes? Was it easier and closer to dump here? Why are people not proud enough of the countryside? Shouldn’t harsh penalties be enforced? Lot of money, taxes we pay, are being spent to clean up such dumping. Costs increase and damage done gets worse with time. Attention: a countryside full of relics will not be nice to walk through. Let’s all put in our efforts to, educate, report, and give a hand where necessary to stop dumping and littering.

The Start of a Scrapyard

As I was riding my bike, I saw this old, dusted, damaged car in the middle of a field. I was shocked that the car was surrounded with flowers. It looked like nature provided a tomb for this car that was not ‘scrapped’ properly. Even though nature remedied the ugly with flowers, I worry that others will follow this example and use this field as a scrap yard in the future.

A Powerful Contrast

Flowers can’t blossom properly here – Selmun Malta. It shows clearly that mankind is making its affect on nature. Plants can’t grow properly and it is such a shame that this is happening because nature is the best gift God has given us. A Powerful Contrast – Selmun Malta. It is clearly showing us the contrast between nature and the destruction of it. People should stop using this area as their “dust bin” and start taking care of the environment. Nothing can grow under that – Hal far Malta. It is showing that the rubbish left behind by humans is destroying and changing the way nature grows. It is showing us that humans aren’t taking care of nature.  They are also not taking the responsibility of cleaning their own environment. What humans are doing to nature- unfortunately some irresponsible people are destroying nature every day.

If a statue could speak, this one would!

I noticed this statue when I was walking, overflowing with car parts. This started off by being a a peaceful garden however after car parts came in the market, the peace was broken. This garden is changing into a junkyard. Would’t this place be better if trees and flowers were surrounding this statue?
