During the era of the Order of St John between 1535 and 1800 watch towers were built around the whole coast of Malta to give early warning of any approaching vessel, whether pirate or enemy. A good number of them still stand. This one is at the tip of Baħar iċ-Ċagħaq.
I took the shot a week ago when out with the car with Max while Christine was at the hairdresser’s. It was too hot and sunny to go for a walk and because of Covid19 I didn’t want to take risks and stop at a café shop for a drink and perhaps a bite for Max. We could’nt go far either because we had to stay close in case Christine suddenly phoned to say she was ready. So we had to wonder around in the car in our area, stopping for a shot or two when we could.
Thank you so much for your views, comments and fav's.
A great view and beautiful capture. Fav. @sangwann Because chemicals are increasingly banned in agriculture, farmers are increasingly trying to use the natural methods

Wikipedia: Borage is used in companion planting. It is said to protect or nurse legumes, spinach, brassicas, and even strawberries. It is also said to be a good companion plant to tomatoes because it confuses the mother moths of tomato hornworms or manduca looking for a place to lay their eggs.
