One day in Hania...

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 beach

A while back, I took a photo of a calm deserted beach.

Here's the photo of the same beach as it looks today, from a slightly different angle. It will be like this for a little while longer before it takes its undisturbed appearance in October once again (when the last European chartered flight departs Chania International Airport, and turns it into Chania Domestic Airport for the winter season).

It's really stuffy here in Hangzhou, yet all we have are just those indoor swimming pools.

I can here the buzz-crickets (My English version of Τζιτζίκια :-D ) and feel the heat on my face...

Two weeks remaining for my summer break. :-/

The only thing which is missing perhaps from this beach is the lifeguard!

Looks like a very nice and interesting shape of beach. I like the spot just because of that wonderful hill in the background!
