English: Malta- the Harbour Barrage from the Upper Barracca
image: A view from the Upper Barracca over the Grand Harbour of Valletta under aerial bombardment at night. There are
piles of rubble in the immediate foreground and a British Anti-Aircraft gun fires skywards from a gun emplacement in the centre of the
composition. This emplacement and the smoke-filled Grand Harbour are visible through a large gap in the damaged wall of archways of the Upper Barracca. The night sky is illuminated by the moon, star shells, artillery and anti-aircraft fire.

Licensing
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate
{{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see
Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.
Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar,
{{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See
Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
