Magnify Malta
by Myriam Thyes
Since 2004, when Malta became a member of the European Union, more and more boat people, refugees from Africa, strand in Malta. Here, they have to live in prisons, tents and airplane hangars. At the same time, too many hotels and holiday apartments are built on the small island, and these buildings often remain empty or unfinishd.

He is facinated by naval ships and has been involved in designing the ship.

Thank you, very interesting!
I was told it was a second world war ship.
Why is this yacht, looking like a navy battle ship, lying at Grand Harbour of Malta for such a long time?
Bravo Myriam, je suis ton travail : très rigoureux et très intéressant! je vote !
Myriam, I had no idea of what was happening in Malta (I’ve been there 25 years ago…). As usual with your work, you’ve given me plenty of food for thought!
Well done Myriam you have captured how the island is very cramped in places. Good Luck.
Deine Fotos schätze ich in deinem Werk sehr.
Liebe Grüße
Die Photos gefallen mir sehr gut.
