For this week’s CB&W Challenge I’m back in the medieval walled city of Mdina.
Whilst its history can be traced back 4,000 years, most of what you see today dates from the 16th century
There is a surprise around every corner: sometimes a Cathedral, a Carmelite Priory, a Grand Palazzo, an ice-cream parlour.
This time it was a small square with a beautiful house in the corner, a well in the middle, a tree and some washing drying on a roof.
Let’s have a wander around the Piazza while there’s nobody else around.

Let’s retrace our steps now back to the ice-cream parlour. I’m going to have a tub with one scoop of mango and one scoop of ginger and a chocolate flake – a combination I can highly recommend. They have every flavour you can think of. What would you choose?

Mmmmango! I always choose it if there is, and it goes with dark chocolate great indeed. The ginger I leave to you, and have walnut, for example. Or raspberry.

Now that’s quite some place for drying up wet clothes 🙂

Thanks Cee. It was your challenge that got me trying them in monochrome. I had fun with the processing

Wonderful and moody.

Only in monochrome! It was a bright and cheeerful scene in colour!

Funny, isn’t it, how color changes everything.

Wonderful Helen!! I was amazed, when I first saw the pictures I thought, WOW Helen does charcoal drawing too! How did you get this type of black and white photography? I really must get into these photo challenges. Love this form of photography, 🙂

Thank you Mitchell. If it hadn’t have been for the Black&White Challenge: Buildings, I’d never have processed these in monochrome as they were so colourful in their “natural state” . I’ll PM you on Facebook about the processing.
