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.

ABC Wednesday: Yellow
It's ABC Wednesday again, and Y is for yellow.
Yellow is the colour of choice for safety and visibility. The traffic light post, the telephone box and the notice board) which is empty, are all painted yellow, outside Hania's stadium, which is found behind the iron bars. The stadium is used by a lot of young people every day; it's a pity it has to look so drab on the outside. Maybe Y should have stood for yuck instead.
This shot has been taken across the road from the kitschy quaint clock tower in the municipal gardens.

Yes, that is a lot of yellow but not so yuckie.
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday to you.
The colour certainly stands out so I guess it's a good choice after all for safety and visibility. :D
ReplyDeleteYellow in the picture. I don't think I have ever seen city posts in yellow before.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to thank you for the comment about our 53rd wedding anniversary.
Your choice and use of yellow was a good idea.
ReplyDeleteGood idea for "y"!
ReplyDeletePlenty of yellow in this picture.
ReplyDelete:) Yuck definitely fits in there.
ReplyDeleteYou have received an award, come over and collect it if you like :)
ReplyDeleteSorry I am a bit late, but here I am to say what a lovely post. I too like purple and pink in the garden but this year my nasturtiums are adding a wonderful contrasting orange!
ReplyDeleteLoved this insight into your world. Not often you can see yellow on things so close together.
