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: quarter moon
"Look Mum, there's something wrong with the moon, it isn't round!" said Christine.
"Yes, it isn't. It looks more like a banana, doesn't it?" I replied.
"That's not a banana," exclaimed Aristotle. "It's a croissant."
"Apricot or chocolate filling?" I asked.
"Banana!" they both cried.
(The answer to yesterday's riddle is: a restaurant.)

Once upon a time there was this great and fantastic group of people who blogged and photographed … with a click, click here, a snap, snap there, all of them had a week to look upon the sky … day and night, by dusk or dawn, sunrise or sunset … and always there where great and fantastic photos to be seen when SKY WATCH was opened …
