This shows how hot it has been all of a sudden for the past two weeks. Even though the snow fell very late this season, and there was a lot of rainfall, other years have seen snow stay on the mountains until mid-June, which is still a month away.
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.
Goodbye beautiful cold snow.
ReplyDeleteIsrael is having a sharav today, 35 degrees and 15% humidity. Even at night is was 25 degrees which is rare.
Good luck with your summer.
Good question about birds feeling the heat. Dunno.
ReplyDeleteToday is a heat wave. Usually not this hot and not quite this dry. Tomorrow it will be back in the normal high 20s.
lovely view!
ReplyDeleteSummer must be round the corner :-)

ReplyDeleteAloha fellow islander ;-)
Seeing this view gives me a different perspective about the island. How do you feel about the ealy snow melt?
