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: autumn is a comin'
A welcome view from my balcony after the first rain shower in the town; the washed-out town in the late afternoon.
There is a lovely lilac light to those clouds. I remeber when we were in Corfu this lilac light surrounded the evenings skies and lovely it is too.

ReplyDeleteThat view and sky could ALMOST be my town. Really, if someone told me it was, I would probably believe them. The mountain even sort of fits.
