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.

Wintery dusk
Possibly my best shot of the winter sky.
This photo was taken from the stadium in the city centre.
Those red sky photos are striking. Does this happen often in Hania. Love all your photos, actually, and it is wonderful to share life in your part of the world.
Hi Maria! Don't know if it's your best, but it is stunning! Outstanding!! So, everybody was busy with Valentine’s Day, nobody paid attention to Rajasthan? Great mistake... ;)) Have a great Sunday!! Blogtrotter
Greadings from Florida (USA), I enjoy reading your blog about crete very much. I have some kind of connection with Kriti I can't really explain because I have never visited and I do not have any family connection. Well, I wanted to thank you very much for making me travel crete through your eyes. Beautiful pictures!!!
Excellent photo! What a colour!!!!! If you come to Athens for a few days with family, you must go to Feneos. Even in Spring, you can't imagine the beauty of that place.
i think the red sky is just part of the mediterranean, not just crete - it never looks as spectacular as this on an every day basis, and in the summer, our skies are pretty much blue all round
Perfect shot! It deserves a prize!

Much better than being here at the moment: No snow, you can see the sky in beautiful colours etc etc...
ReplyDeleteThat is a really beautiful photo. Magic!
ReplyDeleteBack during the Cold War when we were waiting for the bomb, I liked to refer to this kind of sky as "post-apocolypic".
ReplyDeleteIt's a great sky to swim under (provided the sharks aren't looking for a feed!)
It is a glorious image.
ReplyDeletemagnificent capture!!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if it's your best, but I'm pretty sure it's a perfect stunner!
ReplyDeleteWow! Lovely colours. See, all those dust particles from Africa are good for something ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful sky!

Beautifully done, I hope it was the close of a good day.
ReplyDeletebeautiful - I wonder if that red sky is because of the location of Crete? Do you know?
