Inland Sea Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

The Inland Sea, sometimes called Qawra in Maltese, is a lagoon of seawater on the island of Gozo linked to the Mediterranean Sea through an opening formed by a narrow natural arch.

It was probably formed where a geological fault in the limestone had created a sea cave and where the roof had then collapsed.

On one side there is a gently shelving stony beach with several fishermen's huts. The boats are often pulled up on to the stony beach. The bottom of the lagoon is also mostly pebbles and rocks and is up to 35 metres deep. Jacques Cousteau said the the Inland Sea was among his top ten dives.

Hello Agnes,
good strong lines and architecture around the water, which had a nice deep green hue to it to contrast against the light limestone and the houses. A well taken picture with nice contrast and clarity. Well done.
Kind Regards.
Stella

Hi Agnes
wonderful View.
Interesting to know that a few years ago two dolphins enetered through the opening in the inland sea. Every one was surprised.
Kind regards

Szia Agnes,
a bright capture in summer sunlight which gives a hot impression, but also some refreshment by the water. Good view with the rock in the background and the village around the seawater lake with the gate to us. The white is a bit hot, some reduction of exposure would work better I think.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hi Agnes
Beautiful POV that includes all this terrific lagoon. It was really crowded in the summer and that color of the water was very attractive, especially right outside when you get to the open sea.

Hello Agnes,
C’est très inattendu de voir toutes ces cabanes ici mais j’imagine que l’endroit doit être d’une situation très intéressante et calme,
Etonnant aussi ce petit passage dans le rocher,
Bien à toi et bonne Fête de Pâques,
Robert

Hello Agnes,
a lovely capture, interesting POV, although a wider lens was needed or a couple of steps behind if possible.

The overexposure is a bit annoying, the white areas are whiter than the usual. My guess is that your camera, was set to auto program and metered the center spot of the scene, leaving the rest out.
Thats the main reason I hate auto programs and play manually.

Many Regards
Stelios

hi Agnes

Very well chosen pov from this high angle, to show the perspective view and the high cliff walls. Good composition of the lake as central masterpiece.

Bonjours,
belle photo de cette mer intérieure qui sert de port et de lieu de plaisance.
Belle sortie par ce trou dans la falaise, l' endroit est bien touvé et bien pris, on se posent des questions puis on traduit comme on peut la note et on croit bien comprendre que le passage est ce trou.

Amitiés Thomas
Je reviens

ciao Agnes ,
che piccolo angolo di paradiso!!!
bellissimi i colori dell'acqua anche se credo che i tetti delle case siano leggermente sovraesposti .
comunque un bel lavoro
Giorgio
