Knights of the Salt - Malta's Stone Trays Turned Summer Treasure!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, photographer David Dixon takes us on a journey to Marsaskala, Malta, where an extraordinary sight awaits. The salt pans here resemble shallow trays delicately carved into the rugged stone landscape. But what makes them truly fascinating is their rich history dating back to the 17th century when they were created by none other than the Knights. While most salt pan sites around the island have fallen into disuse over time, this particular location remains operational during the summer months - a hidden gem waiting to be discovered! November brings out its true charm as captured in this breathtaking image. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing scene, it's hard not to imagine knights clad in armor centuries ago tending to these very pans. Today, however, it's not just about preserving tradition but also embracing nature's bounty and showcasing Malta's unique coastal beauty. So come along and witness how ancient craftsmanship blends seamlessly with modern industry against a backdrop of Mediterranean splendor. This print is a testament to both Europe's historical heritage and its ever-evolving landscapes. Remember though - no commercial use allowed! Let your imagination roam free as you admire David Dixon's remarkable portrayal of Malta’s vibrant salt industry nestled within its picturesque shores.
