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.

Camera critters: sheep
"Look left, look right, and then walk straight ahead."
Ha, funny caption. Do you know what breed the sheep are? Nice to see Greek sheep are allowed to keep their tail (not like in USA). Nice you have an uncle with a farm.

They look brisk and a bit goatlike, somewhat more spry than our local variety.
ReplyDeleteI miss having sheep around! Thanks for the memories you just gave me by posting this.
ReplyDeleteLovely shot. A few years ago we spent a few weeks in the South of France, sheep herding about 500 sheep and goats.
ReplyDeleteHa, funny caption.
