Fishing tradition, a photo from Malta, South

Photographer's Note

Marsaxlokk village has an ancient history being the site of a Roman temple dedicated to the goddess Juno, but no ancient remains are visible. It is rare as a Maltese seaside village in that it has no modern buildings such as hotels spoiling it and none of the traditional housing has as of yet been destroyed to make way for prefab rental apartments.

On Sundays there is a fish market where one can get the best fish available, a particular local favourite is the Lampuki.

The sight of the traditional luzzu's (fishingboats built according to a design dating back to the Phoenicians) and the tranquil surroundings make this a very pleasant place to have lunch at one of the quaiside restaurants.

Hello Daniel,
Indeed, we had Sunday lunch their ourselves, very pleasant memories. I like the point of view looking across the boats to the far side of the harbour. Agreeable lights and colours and excellent sharpness throughout.

Classic scene, classic capture, Daniel. Malta is a place I still haven't visited & want to go (one of the many).

Cheers

Bonjour Daniel,

C'est vraiment le bonheur pour l'oeil du photographe lorsqu'on arrive dans un petit port de pèche et qu'on découvre des bateaux semblables, colorées et aux formes originales.

Amicalement

Serge

From the first look we can recognize the traditional Maltese Luzzu, even the eye on the bow of the boat is perfectly visible, very nice photo, beautiful colors

Fine picture of the famous pastel-painted boats in Malta, Daniel.
Never been there, and my knowledge about is solely from TE.
Bravo,
Ike

Hello Daniel
I always love this combination of colourful fisher boats in front and the harbour from a distance behind. Always difficult to find the right distance of field and the right colour- management, but you did succeed beautifully.

Ciao Daniel
il tono di blu di cielo e mare è perfettamente in linea.
Ottimo taglio verticale con i colori vivaci della barca caratteristica.
Saluti
Carlo

Hi Daniel
Traditional fishing boat the world over usually has its own uniqueness & charm and it makes no diff here. The punchy colours, shape, design and the 'eye' are
appealing. We always somehow feel that we just have to take a few pics the temptation is indeed hard to result. Great capture, Congrats.
Best wishes
