The image captures the dramatic rocky coast near the Blue Grotto in the southern part of Malta island. Turquoise Mediterranean waves crash against the limestone cliffs eroded by time, creating sprays of white foam. The stratified rock shows signs of millennia of marine erosion, with its irregular shapes and tones ranging from ochre to grey. The cloudy sky with patches of light adds a dramatic atmosphere to the scene. This coastal area, characterized by sea caves and natural arches, is one of Malta's most spectacular natural attractions, reachable by small boats that take visitors inside the caves.
