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.
Beautiful view!
ReplyDeleteHi I found your blog by chance (?) - what a wonderfully evocative document. I found Crete and Hania last Spring when I came to experience Easter in Crete, fell in love with everything about it and I have the good fortune to be coming back this week for 2 months, what an adventure - so I love your photos and what you have to tell us about your experiences living there - yes, I remember the 30 deg temps in April, I thought I would melt too!!Best wishes to you - I will follow your blog with great pleasure while I'm there...Frances
ReplyDeleteNice photo. It is a beautiful bridge, despite its origins...
ReplyDeleteI found your blog and I am glad I did, beautiful and wonderful images. I'll visit often. Have a good day.
ReplyDeleteHey, how are you doing?
ReplyDelete...Well, i must say that we still make use a lot of this infrastructure today.
ReplyDeleteAt least they did something else than kill and destroy. I know Crete suffered badly during the war.
