Wintery dusk

red sky at night sailor's delight

Possibly my best shot of the winter sky.

This photo was taken from the stadium in the city centre.

  2. 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.

  6. Back during the Cold War when we were waiting for the bomb, I liked to refer to this kind of sky as "post-apocolypic".

    It's a great sky to swim under (provided the sharks aren't looking for a feed!)

  9. 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!!!

  10. 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.

  12. beautiful - I wonder if that red sky is because of the location of Crete? Do you know?

  13. 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
