Comino

November tends to offer quite stunning days especially after some rainy ones. Last week I headed for a day in Comino with a friend to enjoy the peace and quiet of the island. The weather was spectacular and I even enjoyed a lovely swim and suntan. Walking at such a time of the year in Comino is something unique and the spectacular views are so soothing to one's mental health.

I had a lovely time also in capturing some fine shots of the island due to the fact that the colour temperature of the atmosphere was perfect - quite a rare occasion as often it is hazy.


An interesting find was a bunch of quite big wild mushrooms in the old village area near the canon. The island is quite deserted save to some half a dozen people. Even the hotel was empty and the feeling of being on a somewhat deserted island cut off from your home yet pretty close for a quick return is quite exciting to me. The village part of the island is like a ghost village having also a bar - all abandoned through the passage of time....

Had to share these pictures...
