These are the Maltese Islands as they are today, looking their finest, but seen from the air in a way few people will ever see them. When photographer Jonathan Beacom`s photographs were first published in a book under this title, the Islands of the Maltese archipelago were entering a moment of change as tourism and industry grew in importance. In this new book, in an aerial odyssey that records the Islands` heritage and the natural beauty of idyllic landscapes and seascapes, he captures the moods and seasons in a magnificent collection of images. From the city of Valletta with its baroque buildings wrapped in bastion walls built by the Knights, the photographic journey follows the coastline northwards to Comino and the Blue Lagoon and on to Gozo with its splendid citadel and enchanted countryside before returning along the western shores with views of the mediaeval city of Mdina and the pre-historic temples of Hagar Qim and
Mnajdra. The book is a celebration of Islands that have a unique place in history.
