THE TRUE COLOURS OF A LUZZU by sangwann

THE TRUE COLOURS OF A LUZZU

This is for my friend, Pyrrhula. I had promised that I would post a full shot of a luzzu. Instead I am posting three. The colours are those traditionally used when painting a luzzu. A luzzu can be found in many varied sizes. The biggest were, in days gone by, used to transport all sorts of goods between Malta and Gozo, one of these has now been converted into a a ‘harbour cruise’ pleasure boat to take tourists from Sliema ‘The Ferries’ to and around Grand Harbour.
Thank you very much for looking and for your lovely comments on yesterday’s picture.
It is very identifiable as being Mediterranean! The colours of the boats must mean something - other than being a great photographic opportunity!
