JULY 2023

Malta.

Malta with the family. Evenings on a hotel roof above St Paul’s Bay, and a day on the water off Comino.

We landed on the fourteenth and were on the hotel roof before sunset. The bay goes gold early in July, and the first evenings started up there.

On the sixteenth a boat took us out to Comino. Limestone cliffs, the Blue Lagoon, and a stone jetty full of people waiting for the light to drop.

Me in a white T-shirt beside a man in a yellow Lakers jersey, both looking into the camera on a rooftop terrace at dusk, the bay behind
The first evening, on the roof above St Paul’s Bay, the water going pale behind us.
Five men standing in a line on a hotel terrace at sunset, me second from the left in a white T-shirt, a curved glass building behind
An hour earlier on the terrace. Five of us in a line, the sun on its way down behind the glass.
The same five men under a white sail canopy on a rooftop bar, me second from the left, the town and the sea behind
Same five, same evening, under the sail canopy of the rooftop bar.
Six of us on a boat deck in front of a pale limestone cliff, me on the far left in striped swim shorts, an older woman in a sun hat in the middle
On the boat off Comino, the cliffs straight behind us.
Five men on a concrete ledge above the water at the Blue Lagoon, me on the right in pale swim shorts with my hands on my hips
The ledge above the Blue Lagoon. Nobody agreed on shoes.
