Middle of the Road Photo

Photographer’s Note

Buses of Malta (4/5)

Village roads in Malta are narrow. And on urban areas it's easy to lose your way. So I wouldn't suggest renting a car while there. Every village has bus connection and tickets for most of the island cost 20 cents (about 0.46 Euros). And weekly ticket for the whole island costs 6 liras.

Sorry for the white sky. I try to get good light on my shots. But when something surprising happens, it's usually quite terrible.

(Title Middle of the Road from The Pretenders album Learning To Crawl, 1984.)

Terve Kari,
terrible sky OK but you were the TE journalist who was at the right place at the right time to fill the columns of the "Malta times" !
I find interesting to see the people on duty acting while the two women are waiting and seem to be quite embarassed, especially the left one, we can also see the accident happened because they were driving on the wrong side of the road ;-))
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

Hi Kari,
I am feeling myself as a pessanger of this bus sitting after your seat and watching your camera's lcd. Good capture. I like 350D's quality. I am also planning to buy one (may be used)
Thanks for sharing.

An interesting shot, but I do wish I knew what the story is behind the bus and the car and the tape measure. An accident ???
An interesting shot of daily life and people
