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 district court
The district court of Hania looks very imposing at night with the lights all lit up. It's a different sight altogether during the day, with suited men and briefcase-holding ladies ascending the stately steps. The street market takes place on the left hand side of the court every Saturday.

I wonder when and why somebody thought it was the thing to do to light up office buildings at night?
ReplyDeleteIn these times when it takes so much energy to power a nation, you'd think they could shut the lights off at night.
But cities like New York and San Francisco and even tiny, rinky dink, Brookville, where I live leave lights on at night.
Your photograph certainly does a nice job in capturing the building and the balcony. I wonder who the most famous person was who spoke to the people below was?
