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.

Skywatch Friday: Rainbow
It's Skwatch Friday again and today I can see the faint outline of a rainbow in mine.
As I climbed into the car in the driveway of our house, I caught sight of the rainbow. It had been fine and sunny all morning and in the afternoon it started to rain. Rain is always welcome in Hania, which is one of those 300-days-of-sunshine towns, but just lately, we've been having very mild weather. I don't know if climate change has had anything to do with this, but it's preferable to 30 degrees Celsius in the shade, which is the norm throughout the summer - from the beginning of June toll the end of September.

είμαι νέος στο sky watch και βρήκα και άλλη μια ελληνική συμμετοχή. και πολύ όμορφη θα έλεγα.
ReplyDeleteI thought your eyes are better than mine and then I refocused and think I see it on the horizon.
ReplyDeleteIf I don't get back to see you again before the weekend, I will wish you a "Happy Decoration Day" weekend. Alas, now called 'Memorial Day' weekend here in the states; and, better known for the Indianapolis 500 race than for decorating the graves of the dead.
A very thin line in the horizon, by very beautiful!
