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.

Autumn hues
Autumn colours are considered one of the most spectacular artists' palettes. In my town, however, the mesmerising autumn hues are not played out very well; most of our trees are evergreens. Most of the time, summer turns to autumn without a trace, since the weather is still quite warm.
This is the only plant in the whole town - found in various places: my home, the town centre, most of the villages, and even my workplace, where the photo was taken - that remind us that winter is nearing.
For more spectacular shots of autumn, take a look here and here.

ReplyDeleteAutumn leafs are forming a very dangerous brown/orange carpet over here. You can slip and land on the cold, wet, dirty pavement in no time...not to mention it's pouring rain since yesterday and it is fore casted to stop in.... April :-D :-D :-D
A beautiful image. We have a similar climate in the south of France and again, one of the few displays of autumn is a vigne vierge - Virginia creeper that you show.
