..a major tourist attraction on the island of Malta..it was created by waves and rough seas breaking on the rocks ,over a period of thousands of years...On the top of 2 giants columns of rock,each with a diameter of about 40 m,rests a huge ledge of rock, measuring about 100 m in lenght and 20 m in height ,forming a giant window..For centuries,the Maltesians have known this rare rock formation as "it-Tiequa"( the "Azure Window")...hope you'll enjoy..:)

A tourist attraction? You make it seem like a lost treasure untouched and pristine.
The framing is perfect maintaining the bridge of stone while still maximizing the most beautiful water I have ever seen. the best part for me is the almost "Coke" bottle colored water in the lower right corner that then blends into the deep cobalt blue. Beautiful and wondrous place Malta must be.

Gorgeous. It truly is a window to beauty. The color of the water is so enticing. Makes me want to get a raft and sunbathe. Excellent work Dr. Quinn. Have a great weekend.
