Island of Malta

Malta (click to enlarge)

If you ever wanted to see what Malta looks like from the air, from space, how big it is, and how crowded it is, this photo gives you all the answers. I did not take this photo, but was probably taken by a pilot as he is descending on the island. I should say by a co-pilot or a passenger, as the pilot should have been in control of the plane. But either way, it is a very good photo of our little island, 18 miles by 8 miles. The sister island Gozo is on the northern part, and is not clearly visible. However, to be fair, hereunder is a photo of Gozo, 7 miles by 5 miles, all on its own, just 5 miles northwest of Malta.
