Categories & Tags: Beaches People
This captivating scene depicts the Calypso Grotto area overlooking Ir-Ramla bay, with a rare freshwater pool in the foreground. Two men engage in leisure activities, one fishing with a rod while the other tends to a dog. Terraced fields climb the hillsides, and a solitary stone structure adds a rustic touch to the landscape. The reflection of the surroundings on the water enhances the tranquil beauty of this timeless snapshot, illustrating rural life and natural charm in mid-20th-century Gozo.
