Malta’s countryside is often taken for granted, yet this panoramic view shows just how striking it can be. A walk on this quiet road surrounded by green fields, open skies, and undisturbed land on one side can help relax us and make us feel better. We need to protect what’s left of our countryside at all cost before it disappears to development.

This photograph is a gentle nudge to slow down and notice the small life thriving all around us.

While on holiday in Turkey, Najm came across this scene when he visited Lake Tuz. This lake is one of Turkey’s largest lakes and a key stopover for flamingos and migratory birds. Rising temperatures and water overuse are causing it to shrink. This image, with the sun barely breaking through the haze, captures just how fragile this ecosystem has become.
