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.

Old well
This house, recently renovated, is found close to the city centre. In the garden are the remains of a disused well. An amusing piece of machinery, completely unknown to most young people these days.
I always enjoy your posts and photos. You manage to compose the old with the new! Η φωτογραφία μου εικονίζει 4 από τα φαγητά που έφτιαξα: ντολμαδάκια, μπόμπα, πατζαροσαλάτα και πράσινη σαλάτα με πολλά μυστικά υλικά! Χι,χι!!! Ποια συνταγή θέλεις; Είμαι έτοιμη να της μοιραστώ μαζί σου!
πολύ θα ήθελα ένα σπιτάκι με μαγκανοπήγαδο στην αυλή του
