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 river
This river runs through Fournes village in Chania. I remember some summers when it had completely dried up, although this hasn't happened lately, possibly due to the return of a snowy climate in Hania, another rarity. When it isn't running as fast as it is now, and there is less water, we can drive our pick up truck through it from one side to the other.

The river crossing place looks deep today. Nice photo.
ReplyDeleteAnd can one cross it by foot?
ReplyDeleteWe have a river here that people cross by driving through. One rock outcrop. I guess only those with the best tires do it.
