Malta Island
August 12, 2009 - Malta Island is the largest of the three major islands that constitute the Maltese archipelago and Republic of Malta. The island sits in the Mediterranean Sea, south of Sicily. Graced with numerous bays serving as natural harbors. Malta is not only one of Europeas smallest countries, but also one of its most densely populated.
Against the backdrop of black ocean water, Malta appears in shades of gray, beige, brown, and green. Gray cityscape stretches over much of the island, centered around the bustling port city of Valletta on the northeast coast, which hosts cruise ships, ferry boats, and yachts.
Away from the urbanized areas, the landscape alternates between cropland and natural vegetation. Only a few patches of deep green appear in this shot, mostly on the western third of the island. The islands terrain consists primarily of rocky, flat lowlands. Malta has no permanent rivers or lakes, but temporary waterways can form after heavy rains
