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.

Vlita flower
A flower related to vlita (amaranth), Kirtomado, Hania. This flower grows up to about a metre tall, unlike yesterday's pohutukawa, which grows up to twenty metres tall. Well, you didn't really believe it would grow hundreds of metres tall, did you?!
Nice! Is it edible? (Sorry for my Cave-Man thinking but you mention it is related to vlita and vlita is so good with lots of olive oil and....well, you know how it goes :-D )
Thank you for the spelling alteration. That's why I try to keep out of spelling Greek words in English, never comes out right, plus my Greek grammar isn't that good. Thanks for visiting.
amazing!!

ReplyDeleteThat is more like it ;-) ! And another beauty. A spot of red is nice in the winter.
