December started quite slow for me, here on Noise at least ... because otherwise, I'm jam-packed with todo lists and... well, tasks :D But a lovely Noise filled with memories is a must at this time of the week - oh, yes... you're right! - so in today's #TBT I choose a rock-solid, interesting photo story. Or is it Rock-Solid? The year is 2016. Winter is cold as chilly, so doing a great job... wether-wise. Only one solution for somebody, who doesn't want to tap on the ice-cold streets: Plan, Fly, Malta. "You have to be quick because the Sunset down there is still early" (I planned my photo-schedule on the plane). I might show some other shots if you're interested, but for now a bittersweet Noisecard about one of Malta's favourite landmarks, the 50 metres high arch: the Azure Window ( Tieqa tad-Dwejra in Maltese ). About 4 months later as I photographed in the warm Sunset (two whole days were cloudy) at the beginning of the next year (March, 2017), it collapsed by a massive storm. It was a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with a rich flora (example at the end of this TBT Noise) and marine fauna. The site is still a remarkable one with the Fungus Rock and the unique rocky landscape. A powerful lesson: let's observe something beautiful every day ... even a tree, a flower, as part of Nature... we never know when or which part of the Creation will be edited. Have a great Month and I wish you all the best moments and memories, Noisey Friends! See you around! >D

Oh, so sad it collapsed. Nature is far more powerful than it seems. I like this post :) The 'Azure Window' name is so cool!
Yes... it's sad, but as you mentioned ... Nature is greater than we think ... creator and destroyer in itself. Thank you for your lovely comment (as always!) >D
lol I am so busy I cant even begin to think... Never actually made it to Malta but could be nice one day - esp to see the remains of the second world war fortifications - when remembering the entire island got the George Cross
absolutely... and a ton of history gems around the island. I just mentioned this particularly view ... but so much old stones ... it's a must! Looking forward to it, and sending my best wishes! All the best and thank you for dropping by (even that I know you're super busy as we speak!) >D
