Gate of Aragon by

This gate leading into the Maltese town of Vittoriosa (aka Birgu) is also known as the Advanced Gate. It is not as elaborately carved as the Couvre Porte Gate nearby but still worth a photograph even if it is illuminated at night with a light that has a peculiar greeninsh tinge! Pentax K10D, 3 portrait exposures of 15 sec each, f about 16, 28 mm prime lens, ISO 100, stitched in PanoramaPlus X4 after processing as tiffs in Pentax Photo Laboratory. March 2011.
