Sabine in Gozo

Random rants & pics from a little island in the Mediterranean Sea

See the clouds they’re giving life below…

Note: Title is borrowed from lyrics of “Clouds” by Bread – it just seemed fitting. :)

Yesterday and Friday were rather cloudy, not in the sense of a thick grey mass (such as today’s!), but the more dramatic kind, which I’m so fond of!

I spent most of Saturday indoors, trying to relax and force my stupid headache into submission (which seems mission impossible and starts worrying me, by the way!). In the afternoon I noticed we’d be running out of cat food by today, so I had to go out to get it from Victoria. Though I grumbled a little, I made the best of it… I took my camera with me and drove around a little in search for suitable subjects to match the beautiful celestial background!

This is the pretty church of Santa Lucija, just a kilometre or so from Victoria.

From there I proceeded to Dwejra, but the views down at the Azure Window were not what I expected. From higher up it was a different story though!

From there I headed back home and discovered that sometimes you don’t really have to venture far for a nice shot: Gharb’s parish church is just a stone’s throw from our house… (the time showing on the clock is wrong – it actually was after 6 pm!)

Finally, this one I actually took on Friday, for Renzo‘s blog post on Discover Gozo. The chapel at Ta’ Hamet (between Xaghra and Xewkija) was built as a gesture of thanksgiving for Gozo’s victory over Napoleon’s forces. What, you didn’t know that part of Gozo’s glorious past yet? Then I suggest you hurry over to the blog, where the Kempinski Hotel San Lawrenz shows and tells a lot of interesting snippets about our island! ;)

I’ve got more pics to show of this weekend, but they are completely different from these cloudy shots, so they merit their own post – coming soon!

Obscured By Clouds

Sheep clouds dotting the sky this morning. Looked a bit like my mind on the inside and reminded me of an old Pink Floyd piece…
