A love note from nature! Photographer shares a romantic aerial view of fields in Malta and Gozo
Even the greenery is in the mood for love!

The photographer Daniel Cilia has warmed some hearts this morning by sharing two photographs from a forthcoming book of aerial photography over the Maltese Islands.

The clover heart was photographed on the slopes of the village of Xaghra along Marsalforn Valley, showing a heart-shaped patch of crimson clover. The arrow-shaped field soil works, shown on the right, is the product of an intricately plowed field and some truly creative work by someone who seems to have been in a romantic mood, photographed outside the village of Zurrieq in Malta.

Signing off with a romantic dedication to his wife, Daniel wrote 'whilst every love story is beautiful, ours is my favourite!'

Would you make one of these for your Valentine?
