Valetta Old town - Malte Island
This part of the capital of the island of Malta is really interesting. Two main features: all these little streets highly inclined (so that most are in fact big stairs) and all the balconies covering the facades.

One of the most fascinating aspects of Malta is its ancient history (and I mean really ancient). They left behind magnificent temples, but also figurines and other small pieces of what we could call art (we really don't know how the people that made them viewed them, and there is really no use speculating). This little head, and its fellow 'head' dates to the Maltese Temple period, 3600-2500 B.C. Of course we do not know if this is the likeness of a real person or the portrait of some deity, but a face of someone, that it is.
Head(s?) on display at The National Museum of Archaeology, Valletta, Malta (it's not a very big museum, but well worth a visit).
Des Balcons splendide, coloré, sculpté, le balcon maltais (ou gallarija) fait partie du patrimoine de Malte.
Fort Henri is located on the northern shores of the Baie de Tyche, and protects the town of Lavalette from both land and sea attacks.

Before Sandy, there were a lot of beach towns that looked like this, with small working class beach houses on dirt streets. Sandy wiped a lot of these out and the families couldn’t afford to rebuild up to code, so they sold the land to wealthy families, who build McMansions and altered the character of the Jersey Shore. This sort of town is a dying breed here. I think this is Lavalette. Contax III, Carl Zeiss 21mm f/4.5 Biogon, Imperiale Type S film shot at EI 64 (this is a Spanish film from what I understand).
