A poetic image captures the silhouette of a bare tree standing against the cloudy sky of Maltese winter. The bare branches, like dark veins against the grey clouds, create a natural design of great graphic impact. The minimalist composition evokes the solitude and austere beauty of the Mediterranean winter landscape. Although Malta is known for its mild climate, winter brings cloudy and windy days that transform the landscape, revealing a side of the archipelago less known to tourists. This image represents the contemplative and melancholic side of the Maltese islands.
