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.

SYRIZA
The Hania headquarters of a Greek political party: the Coalition of the Radical Left. I prefer to think of them as the rainbow party because of the pretty colours of their logo. I have no idea what their constitution states. I can't remember if I ever voted for them. I wish I could live in their headquarters, though. This building is what is known as a neo-classical house, and it may be renovated only according to designated statutory rules. It may not be demolished unless it constitutes a health hazard.
A small update: this building had a hole blown in its entrance after someone threw a bomb onto it in the early hours of the morning of 1st July, 2008.

Indeed, the building is pretty enough and so are the colours on their logo ... as for the ideas, who knows?
