The old minaret adjacent to St Nikolaos church is a perfect reminder of the way the East met the West in the town I made my home, Chania, Crete, Greece. The photographs I post all help to tell a part of a longer story that focuses on the town and its citizens, whether they are living there now, or have made their home in other parts of the world. As a newer resident, by writing about the town in this way, I am trying to put some order into the chaos that I seem to be confronted with.

Tree in spring blossom
On our way home after a little trip out to our orange and olive fields in Fournes village in Chania, we passed this tree dressed in purple blossom. It looked very beautiful amongst the seasonal spring green colours. The house behind it is the only one for about half a kilometre; on the left hand side of the road, there is a low (but fast running) river. All the snow that melts from Lefka Ori downwards flows here.
