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.
wow. that IS incredible. :O and those oranges look huge. :O
ReplyDeleteDon't you love orange groves? The smell of the blooms is exquisite!
ReplyDeleteI love mandarin juice as well as orange juice! Fruits are good for the health but I eat them anyway!
ReplyDeleteI remember those water channels in the old citrus groves (back when we lived in the Coastal Plain). But never saw the hoses strung up high like that. You're lucky they keep the orange groves in town.
ReplyDeleteNice to see all that green grass, too!
ReplyDeleteHi MKiwi! Sorry for the long delay in coming here, but the last two weeks were too hectic!
ReplyDeleteShould have noticed this grove, but the stadium I know perfectly where it is... ;)
Loved the Autumn Hues...
Interesting post on the Cretan coffee cup...
Meanwhile Blogtrotter is back to Greece in November 2007! Hope you enjoy and have a great week!
