A typical maltese balcony (gallarija) is seen in Valletta. The buildings are all made with limestone so all the tones are variations of beige. In one window of the balcony there's a statue of a saint. Inside the balcony some clothes are hanged for drying.

Neben der Haustür wurde ein Kalksteinblock mit Zickzacköffnung eingemauert - eine einfache, aber dauerhafte Katzenklappe. Solche kleinen baulichen Lösungen zeigen, wie selbstverständlich bearbeiteter Kalkstein in den maltesischen Alltag eingebunden ist: dieser behauene Stein ist hier zugleich Wand, Gestaltungselement und Durchgang.

Im Steinbruch hat man zufällig einen glockenförmigen Brunnen angeschnitten - die einst verborgene Form ist nun im Profil sichtbar. Diese Brunnen, aus dem Fels geschlagen, dienten zur Sammlung von Regenwasser und gehören zu den charakteristischen Merkmalen ländlicher Wassersysteme Maltas mit präzisen Verständnis für Geologie und Statik.

Im „Limestone Heritage“ lässt sich nachvollziehen, wie der helle Kalkstein Maltas traditionell gewonnen wurde. Die Ausstellung zeigt die handwerklichen Werkzeuge früherer Generationen und die motorbetriebenen Sägen, die seit dem 2.WK in Gebrauch sind.

Wind, Regen und Salz haben die Kalksteine in eigenwillige Formen geschnitten. Manche erinnern an Figuren oder Wellen, andere zerfallen zu brüchigen Brocken. Die Veränderung ist langsam, aber sichtbar - eine Landschaft in stetiger Bewegung.

Limestone sculpture of a man, Iraq, 2400 BCE

Last week, I went sport climbing in Sicily near San Vito Lo Capo. The area is known for extensive limestone cliffs above the sea and well-bolted sport routes across a wide range of grades.

Coastal landscape at sunset with the silhouette of Monte Cofano in the background. The photo is taken from Makari facing southwest. The sea is calm, the sky shows thin clouds with orange and blue tones, and low vegetation forms a dark foreground.

Das natürliche Felsentor im Tal von Wied il-Mielaħ haben Wind, Wasser und Wellen über Jahrtausende aus dem Kalkstein herausgearbeitet. Seine Form wirkt zugleich fragil und dauerhaft; das Ergebnis fortgesetzter Erosion. An diesem Tag schlagen die Wellen mit besonderer Wucht gegen die Klippen und lassen den Lärm des Meeres in der engen Bucht widerhallen.
