Not really in the Highlands, no clouds!  Spent a week in Malta (Karen is 
half Maltese and spent the first part of her life there), so as in a city my 
PAW is back its old style ;-)

Here is a panorama of the Three Cities from the Upper Barrakka Gardens

We stayed in Birgu and knew that the Festival of Light was to be held when 
we were there, the street lights are turned off and just candle light 
illuminates (or not) the streets.  For the first time in years I did not 
take any M kit with me, 'just' S(007) and four lenses (24, 45,70 and 120, 
equivalent to 19, 35, 56 and 96) - still weighs ~9kg so that is the 
downside.  Lenses are about two stops slower than my M lenses (although 
still faster than zoom lenses), however it is far better at high ISO than my 
M(240) and some of these shots are at 12,800.

Some more general vies from Malta

C & C welcome
