2013 week 47 - Malta day 1 - Blue Grotto

I enjoy photography very much, but processing photos for publishing is rather boring. I'll have now about 20 week backlog of photos and I'll update this photo "blog" more frequently than during summer.

Let's start from some images from Malta. My short visit to small island lasted 8 days. Weather was rather nice for November, rain and storm on one day but nice weather in other days. Since November is outside "tourist season" visit was very enjoyable; very small number of tourists and huge discount on hotels. For example I stayed two nights in Mellieha and hotel room with breakfast was 26EUR/night.

At first day I arrived to Malta, rented a car and drove to my first hotel in Marsaxlokk. Sun is setting ridiculously early in winter at Malta and sunset happened already just few minutes after 5PM. Below are few photos about Filfla island and Blue Grotto.

When I'm photographing I carry GPS all the time in order to create GPS-trail so I know where I have shoot the photos. Below is animation of all 7 days routes on the small island:
