OK time to start posting some colourful Malta pics! Here’s one from my first day there – it’s taken from one of the corners of Valetta: a fort city and also Malta’s capital. I hadn’t taken my tripod with me on the first day as we didn’t know what we were doing that first evening but the whole place is surrounded by low walls that work just fine as a stand in one.
Did you know that Valetta was on of the first (or even first!) city to be built using a grid pattern to outline its streets?? Oooooooh!

Do you enhance these photos in any way with a graphics program? they do not look like photographs, they look like paintings – totally gorgeous!

@scott thanks again!
@Grace
I use Photomatix to create the effect Grace – I’m gonna put up a tutorial soon so you can see exactly how it’s done
Really nice, it seems like Valletta was sprayed with gold. Having a quick look, had the impression it’s Egypt at first, not Malta
Impressive photo indeed.
