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.

Odd shots Monday: the train station
You may be wondering what's so odd about this shot: it looks like a normal train station, doesn't it? Just when you least expected it, Hania has its own Kings Cross.
Weary travellers holding their bags, a ticket vending machine, boutique-style stores for that last minute shopping before you board your train, the ticking clock reminding you that the train is due to depart, out-dated decor from art deco times...
(But it's not a train station; it's the Agora in Hania.)
