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 ; ))

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.
