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: The sky through a child's eyes
While I was queuing for gasoline during the petrol tankers' strike, I let my daughter use the camera, and she snapped a million obscure shots while she was sitting in the car with me. This photo was one of the few I felt was worthy of being shared: the sky from the car window, as a child saw it, from a slightly dirty windscreen. Looks a little like what you'd see if you ate a magic mushroom, or something like that (I suppose, never having eaten one myself).
And the answer to yesterday's photo's question is: the small line of yellow lights right underneath a red aerial spotlight in the very centre of the photograph is the ship!

Your daughter has the talent...and it looks to me very much like a view from those childhood fairy tales..^^
ReplyDeleteI would label this photo as "Looking high" or "Reach high" irrespective of the dirty windscreen!

Nice shots for sky watch. I don't know how I missed it yesterday. My apologies.
ReplyDeleteSometimes a child's eye view is the best possible. Lovely.
