I was going to write something about these wonderful wooden box balconies but then I came across this blog post and I was convinced that I could do no better than direct you here…

Andrew I find it hard that someone could out write you in the history and architecture of anything. I love balconies and have been enjoying them in yoru posts. Like a photographers dream only to be outdone by the boats of Malta. 🙂

I enjoyed reading about the balconies on Malta, Andrew. Most interesting and I walk away with a feeling: life wouldn’t be life without balconies 🙂

These colorful balconies add so much character to the face of the buildings. I bet kids love the small spaces inside to play in. A lovely place to set a small table and a couple of chairs to have tea and enjoy the sun / natural light. 🙂

    I’m not sure what they use them for either and it doesn’t actually matter because I love the architectural enhancement. 😮

    My guess is that they use them as a sort of conservatory. Somewhere to sit in the sun, somewhere to dry washing in the winter and somewhere to send the kids to play!

    Goodness- must be the male mind (or an enquiring one)! I never think to look at stuff like that. Not sure I’d even know how. 🙂 Golfing weather yet down there?

  One of the good reasons for visiting Malta. These balconies and the boats are so photogenic. It used to be the same with the buses but they have all gone now. Thanks for the comments.
