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.

Full moon
Here's what I see most nights from the balcony of my house: the strip of lights is the motorway, the short strip of lights in the centre of the photo in the dark horizon is the ferry boat which leaves nightly for Athens, and tonight, there's the added bonus of a full moon.
And from Monday, I'm back in working order, the pneumonia having passed.

ReplyDeleteAloha, Greece
Glad you are breathing easier, friend!
ReplyDeleteWasn't that moon gorgeous? There is nothing better than moonlight luminating the water below. Great photo!
ReplyDeleteLovely view, glad you're feeling better!
ReplyDeleteI'm very glad you're feeling better. Pneumonia is no joke.
ReplyDeleteAh, the full moon. It has never looked more beautiful than in my memories of that golden disk hanging over the lights of the Limani and Lefka Ore
Nice photo! Good to hear you're feeling better.
ReplyDeleteHappy to know you are well. That ferry must be sizeable - you must post one in daylight plus ferry.
ReplyDeleteLovely night picture! I've a problem with night pictures, you know... ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip on the taxi...
Pneumonia? Great to see it gone... ;)
Have a great weekend!

So glad you have recovered your strength.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful night view from your window. I think the ferry should charge more on full moon nights. j/k
Nice view! Yes, unfortunately I have chronic bronchitis (am fighting off a case right now). It used to get to the pneumonia stage, but now I recognise the early signs and start treating it before it gets out of hand. Bleh...
ReplyDeletePneumonia is awful I hope it's gone for good. Most nights we see black sky as there is very little light pollution.
ReplyDeleteYou're looking outward so you must be feeling better. It's a beautiful photograph.
ReplyDeleteM, we just had to replace our washing machine and I have the parts from the old one. Did I see something on your blog about someone repurposing a washing machine basket for something? I thought so but I can't find it.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could see the moon every night!
