The National Shrine and Basilica of the Blessed Virgin Of Ta' Pinu (Maltese: Santwarju tal-Madonna ta' Pinu) is a Roman Catholic minor basilica located some 700 metres away from the village of Għarb on the island of Gozo, the sister island of Malta.
The origins of the Shrine of Our Lady of ta' Pinu are unknown. It was first recorded in the archives of the Curia in Gozo, when the Bishop Domenico Cubelles paid a visit to the chapel. This noted that the chapel had just been rebuilt and that it belonged to the noble family of "The Gentile".
In 1575 the apostolic visitor Pietro Duzina was delegated by Pope Gregory XII to visit the Maltese Islands. In his pastoral visit to the church, he found that it was in a very bad state. He ordered the church to be closed and demolished and its duties passed to the parish church, now the Cathedral of Gozo. When demolition began the workman broke his arm while striking the first blow. This was taken as an omen that the chapel should not be demolished. The church was the only chapel on the island to survive Duzina's decree ordering the demolition of other similar chapels.
Pinu Gauci became the procurator of the church in 1598 and its name was changed from "Of the Gentile" to "Ta` Pinu", meaning "Of Philip". In 1611 Gauci offered money for its restoration. It was rebuilt, with a stone altar erected and investments for liturgical services provided. Gauci also commissioned the painting of the Assumption of Our Lady for the main altar. This was done in 1619 by Amadeo Perugino.
In 1883, Karmni Grima was walking past the now run down church and heard a voice asking her to recite three Hail Marys'. Over the following years miracles were attributed to the grace of Our Lady of The Assumption to whom the church was dedicated. The works for the new church began on 30 May 1922, to be consecrated on 31 August 1932. It was built in a neo-romantic style. Inside the church there are 6 mosaics, 76 coloured windows and many ex-voto. The bell tower is 61 metres high.
The shrine was visited by Pope John Paul II during his visit to the island of Gozo on 26 May 1990 where His Holiness celebrated mass on its parvise.
On 18 April 2010, when visiting Malta, Pope Benedict XVI donated and placed a Golden Rose in front of the devotional image of Our Lady Of Ta' Pinu which was brought over from Gozo to Malta for this special occasion. The Pope invited everybody to "Pray to Her Under the Title Queen of the Family".

The Pinus Forest
Guess where ?
Sweden? Switzerland ? Nope..
About 3/4km footpath to the bottom of Bambarakanda Waterfall is through a Pinus forest. On our way there was drizzling but sky was clear when we returned.
Water drop at the tips of leaves were shining by the sun rays, from the clearing sky, creating a enchanting scene. I wanted to capture it, do not know how successful it was.

Pinus ponderosa - in the Pacific Northwest the bark often smells like vanilla (as does that of the Jeffrey Pine further south)
Distinguished from the bristlecone pine (Pinus longaeva) by the broadly attenuate (not rounded) base of the pine-cone, each scale of which has no terminal prickle or weak one to only 1 mm, and an amber color to the resin on the pinecone. Tawny Point sits in background to the left. This site is in the Tyndall Creek area south of Forester Pass.
These are cones of table mountain pine. For more information: plants.usda.gov/java/profile?symbol=PIPU5
