Aquest lloc és força unic, com a mínim per al Mediterrani, crec. Un petit mar conectat per un tunel natural de roca amb el "mar exterior", es a dir, la resta del Mediterrani. Es troba al extrem oest de l'illa de Gozo, a Malta. En maltès es coneix com il-Qawra (o també id-Dwejra).
Per la part de dins, com podeu veure, hi ha una platjeta de codols així com embarcadors i cases de pescadors. Es pot agafar una barca, com varem fer nosaltres, i travessar el tunel fins a mar obert. El tunel deu tenir uns 50 metres de llarg, i amb prou feines i passa una barca. Per la part de mar obert, tot son estimbats inaccessibles a banda i banda.

==============================
This place is quite unique, at least for the Mediterranean Sea, I think. A small sea connected by a natural rock tunnel to the "outer sea", that is, the rest of the Mediterranean. It is located at the western end of the island of Gozo, in Malta. In Maltese it is known as il-Qawra (or also id-Dwejra).
On the land side, as you can see, there is a small pebble beach as well as piers and fishermen's houses. You can take a boat, as we did, and cross the tunnel to the open sea. The tunnel must be about 50 meters long, and a boat can barely pass through. On the open sea side, it is all inaccessible cliffs on both sides.
"Poutokomanawa is a large, carved wooden post found inside a traditional Maori ancestral house or meeting house, not a standalone totem pole. It functions as a central support post that holds up the ridgepole of the roof, providing structural stability and symbolically representing a carved ancestor. These posts are a form of whakairo rakau, or wood carving, which is a significant art form in Maori culture. "AI Summary. The Poutokomanawa at the Albatross Centre, Harrington Point Road, Otago Peninsula, Dunedin, New Zealand. Unfortunately I didn't take a photo of the label at the bottom of the post to get the detailed description of that particular post but here is a Facebook description of the post by the Royal Albatross Centre.
"The carving you see is the poutokomanawa or heart post carved from mataī that stands in the middle of the Royal Albatross Centre. It was carved by the people of Ōtakou in 1990, 150 years after the initial signing of Te Tiriti, and beautifully represents their whakapapa, their ancestry, those that came before. Tahu Pōtiki stands at the top, leader of Kai Tahu, and below him are his descendants who travelled south, some who eventually settled at Pukekura." www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1127020052804541&id=1...

We've ended up with the 1st week of this year's summer holiday in the Durham Dales at Middleton-in-Teesdale pretty much by chance. Covid19 & lockdown made chaos of any other plans - just the same as for everyone else.
It's turned out totally brilliant! A very peaceful village in the terrific, wild landscape of the Northern Pennines: sweeping upland moors, great rivers and watercourses. Strange placenames & geographical features abound.
Imagine my excitement when even the most cursory research before our trip revealed about 10 disused mines within the immediate vicinity of the village. After dinner one evening, armed with the vaguest knowledge of where one was, I wandered off into the twilight to go take a look. Twenty minutes on foot from the house I stumbled upon this adit pretty much by chance. It doesn't seem to be any of the ones mentioned on the net and is not marked on the old maps. A small stream flows out the entrance and the first 50m are bricklined. After that the adit is tunnelled through the rock with great swathes of white crystals growing across the walls and small, white stalactites ('ceiling straws') sprouting from the roof. I abandoned progress about 100m in simply not in the mood for further adventure but the tunnel continued. An adventure for another day...
The image is acheived by an in-camera double-exposure: one exposure to light paint the foreground tunnel and the 2nd exposure to let me pop further into the tunnel and light paint that.
