The Azure Window, also known as the Dwejra Window, was a 28-metre-tall (92 ft) limestone natural arch on the island of Gozo in Malta. It was located in Dwejra Bay, within the limits of San Lawrenz, close to the Inland Sea and the Fungus Rock, and was one of Malta's major tourist attractions. The arch, together with other natural features in the area, has appeared in a number of international films and media productions.
The formation was created by the collapse of a sea cave, probably during the 19th century. It consisted of a pillar of rock rising from the sea and joined to the cliff by a horizontal slab. Following decades of natural erosion that caused parts of the arch to fall into the sea, the slab and pillar collapsed completely in stormy weather on 8 March 2017.
On my way to the city centre I noticed that the gate to the back yard of a shop was open with fairy lights sparkling, so I took the opportunity to quickly take a photo of the scene.
I can't resist fairy lights when I have mounted a vintage (or fast) lens onto one of my cameras ; ))

Been lazy long enough...time to dust off the camera.
Haven't taken any photos for a few months, as I have been entirely focused on saying farewell to Wrigleyville, finding and purchasing a condo, moving, and ongoing decorating dilemmas. Am now a resident of Rogers Park, a neighborhood I have always loved. Am looking forward to catching up on what I've missed from all my flickr friends :-)
Happy Window Wednesday
After a fun time with some of the family at my daughter's home last evening, heading out soon for more family homes for some good eats and times.
This capture posted here is at my sister's house, there along Middle River. Head there soon for brunch.
Hopefully getting some Christmas photos today with family.
Merry Christmas
The north rose window at Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Chartres. Dedicated to the Virgin, it is the most detailed of the four rose windows in the cathedral. It is amazing that so many of the magnificent stained glass windows survived both the French Revolution and World War II. Chartres Cathedral was a highlight of our October trip to France.
Happy weekend! Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.

Miss Freddie Smith #3 of 11 is looking out the window in my bedroom. This is a composite though ... the Cattle Egret was across the street in my neighbor's yard, so I invited it over for Freddie to see up close! Happy Window Wednesdays!
Not really fitting for the "gathering dust" theme, starting into the 12th year of my Toy Project, as I've last shown it only two months ago, but it's a structure that's been around for some years now.
I've built the first version of this back in 2017, this one os from January 2022. I just changed the lower panel to read MM for today's Macro Monday "translucent" theme.
Yes, the window is exactly 76mm tall, a smidge under 3"
