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.

Snowy scene
No, I didn't go to the Alps for my Christmas holidays. It's winter, and this is typical scenery in the highlands of Hania.
A picturesque lake on the Omalos plateau, below the Lefka Ori, Hania.
I love your mountains, especially with snow. Australian summer is not all that hot this year; I'm often wearing two or three layers the past few weeks. Lots of shalom to you.
So beautiful scenery!
