Field Notes

The Story

Standing on the coast of Gharsi, Malta, the sheer scale of this rock arch was astonishing. The Mediterranean Sea was a brilliant turquoise, crashing against the weathered stone in frothy waves. It felt like stepping back in time, with the ancient fortifications of Valletta watching over the scene.

The light that day was perfect – bright sunshine illuminating the textures of the rock and the vibrant blues of the water. I was drawn to the contrast between the raw, natural power of the sea carving this arch and the enduring strength of the man-made walls behind it. It's a view that truly captures the spirit of Malta.
