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: clouds over the sky
All of a sudden, the sun disappeared, even if only for a temporary minute. Two stubborn grey clouds refused to budge, forming a shape reminiscent of the yin-yan symbol. The sky was dark enough to allow me to take a photo without the whitewash effect of a strong sun.
A turbulent sky is rare in Hania over Kalamaki Beach - I think this is the closest I'm going to get to one.

Very nice shot; you caught the sun at just the right time to allow the photograph, and to show off some of its rays shining from behind the cloud.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see all the different sky watch posts. This is very nice.
ReplyDeleteLove the rays coming in through the clouds
ReplyDeleteClouds over the sky symbolically like our every day life. Ups and downs, joy and sadness...
ReplyDeleteNice. You really made the most of it.
ReplyDeleteI think absence makes the heart grow fonder. We here have almost no clouds for the half year dry season.
Love the way the light rays radiate out from behind the clouds.
