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.

The clock tower
Hania isn't the grandest town, but this clock tower in the municipal gardens elevates our status a little. My children always call it Big Ben.
I can't see the photo, my computer is on its strike again.. Big Ben in Greece, it must be really magnificent.:)I'll be back when my pc stops the strike.ha
Hello Kiwi, shalom from Jerusalem.
