This is how infrastructure is interacting with our landscapes. It might seem like a neat selective shot done on purpose by the photographer to instigate a discussion, and well yes it is. However I can't help but notice the steep increase of cranes all around the island. Cranes mean one thing, high risers. But we need high risers, don't we? Oh yes for office spaces...right...But what about our vistas? Soon enough within a year we won't be able to see Mdina from this side of Mosta....but who cares ey...as long as we have our office spaces and nice residences...who cares about the rest of the nation...

What we take for granted, that is vistas for e.g, is actually part of our Cultural Heritage, which is fast decreasing due to the increase of high rise buildings. Somehow we choose to shrug our shoulders, because maybe it is not our problem. What we fail to realise is that our diminishing landscape is our problem. What will we have instead of landscapes? Buildings....and buildings do not produce oxygen.
