Today I have two contrasting photos, the first one of the ornate ceiling of a church in The Silent City, Mdina, in Malta. Malta has many churches, and each one is more beautiful and ornate than the one before, most of them are works of art in the baroque style, (late 16th century) full of carved ceilings and gold leaf, and beautiful paintings.

And now, for something completely different …..sheep grazing in a meadow. This is something you can see anywhere in Ireland, in fields and on the mountain sides. Often the sheep graze on common ground, and so that the farmers can identify their own sheep, they put a mark on their wool with a special, long lasting, marking paint, (each farmer chooses his own colour) so they make a colourful sight on the mountain!
