Azure Window

| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
Another Malta picture, this time a pretty nice view over Dweira point. If you look carefully near the end of the closest land tongue you will notice a hole in it, this is called the Azure Window and is a great tourist attraction here on Gozo.
just behind it is something called the Blue Hole, a 15m deep 6 meter wide hole, separated from the sea on the surface by a thin wall of rock. If you dive down this hole to about 5 meters depth the wall open up in a huge gap on the sea wall that goes all the way down to the bottom and a beautiful blue light shines in.
It's a great place both for scuba diving and free diving. As a matter of fact, Jacques Cousteau graded the Blue Hole as the 6th best diving site in the world. As you can see, it is quite windy this day with great waves, I dove down to near the bottom of the hole but I did not want to pass the underwater passage with the current from the waves being strong and the waves wild on the surface.

Beautiful scenery Mattias. I really like the blue tones. Those cliffs are really dramatic and I like that there's some action in the water and broken waves give darker shades of blue.
What a beautiful view, well captured. I like the wedges of cliffs jutting into the sea. I wish I was there.

Beautiful shot Mattias. Probably you enjoy very much down there. The cliffs are amazing and the sea seems so exotic. I like the choise from where you shot the pic. The stuffy atmosphere probably presents the very hot weather.

A nice landscape shot Mattias! My only suggestion would be not an improvement, but another interpretation of your picture by cropping the horizon and thus emphasizing the presence of the numerous diagonals in your frame. Just an idea :-)
