| St Julian's Bay on a moonrise evening |
My hometown of
St Julian’s has changed tremendously from the years when I was growing up, or even
from the time when I left Malta in 1981. These three photos show its beauty,
its quaintness and also its ever growing skyline. One can find a nice promenade
where people stroll by in the evening hours, and where others exercise in the
early hours of the morning.
The skyline is now dominated with tower cranes
working on construction, apartments and what we may call mini-skyscrapers. The
number of restaurants and hotels have exploded also, and one has to book in
advance to get a table on any given night. Well, as I stroll by and enjoy an
occasional walk, I hear all kinds of languages spoken, as people from every
country visit as tourists. I hear some Maltese being spoken too, but this has
become the minimum too as the whole place is saturated with foreigners and
visitors.
