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.

Irrigation methods
These irrigation taps have been built beside a well that used to be used to irrigate the fields in years gone by. No one seems to be aware of any danger of falling in the well, since it's been left open and unfenced. It causes me great strife to bring my children to our fields in the village; I want to teach them to love their land, but I have to keep telling them to watch out for all the dangers that it carries.

We have a small stream of water on our land that we call a branch here in Georgia. We plan to put a pump in it to water our vegetable garden this summer.
