Gozo: Big little island

I recently went to the southern Mediterranean to capture some much-needed sunshine.

The small island of Gozo is part of Malta and packs in rugged coastline, undulating countryside and delightful old towns.

I stayed by the sea at Xlendi and cycled around the island with my camera on my back. Here’s just some of my journey…

Island of churches

Gozo is a little island in southern Europe, part of the compact Mediterranean nation of Malta.

It may be small, but punches way above its weight when it comes to churches.

These faithful islanders are served by some impressive places of worship which are large, opulent and a dominant part of the Gozitan landscape.

I visited a fair few by bicycle, craning my neck up at some incredible domes and beautiful architecture. The people of Gozo have every reason to be proud.

London on the move

A vast city like London is a nerve centre, a complex knot of people coming and going, being transported. Its mainline railway stations are beacons of arrivals and departures, passengers flocking to the metropolis or making a swift exit.

These stations have been here for many decades and boast both grand Victorian and contemporary architecture. Today, the paraphernalia of travel is common, including the ticket barriers, platforms and trains.

Hanging back, observing and photographing the body and life of the London rail station is a pleasure. But for me there remains work to do – I’ve studied Waterloo, Victoria and St Pancras International, but have yet to visit Euston, King’s Cross and Liverpool Street to the city’s east, which has always been my escape route from the capital – and that point of return.
