Dwejra

Our guide took us over to the north west of the island to the oh-so-impressive Dwejra area where Mother Nature shows us how creative and destructive she can be.

Tine is standing on the causeway of the inland sea, linked to the Mediterranean by this cave naturally carved through the cliffs. On calmer days fishermen use the tunnel to go about their duties.
A couple of shots of the former Azure Window...
...apparently used in one scene in the Game of Thrones.
Why former? The arch collapsed earlier in the year, the stack disappearing too!
Odd rock and sand formationa all around us...

...and the turquoise sea...
...one intrepid individual taking his life in his hands. (Not really!)

A short journey inland and a photo opportunity of the Ta' Pinu Basilica

Looks beautiful Dave but shows how destructive the seas can be sadly! xx
