It looks like the view from Mnajdra will be obscured a bit - http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/post/72030/mnajdra.html

I'm a bit miffed that I never got there before these were erected. Hopefully, it'll all be sorted by the time I'm there next month :-)

I hope so but wouldn't bet on it.

Have a good trip Tom.

I know why it needs to be done, but not sure I like that change in view ... I loved the approach to Mnajdra.

Tom - I'm there next week and have done a little bit of research on new stuff - let me know if you need any info and I highly recommend getting "Malta before History" pub Miranda when there (unless it's a bit too coffee table for you ;-) ) but shop around, I found it cheaper than at the Museum shop.
