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.

Olive tree
This olive tree is very old. It must be close to 100. It's located in an olive grove not far from my home, among many other very old trees just like it.
That's one of the bigger ones I've seen! Wow.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo Maria!
That's a tall one. Everyone should have an olive grove near her home.
ReplyDeleteNice, we both posted olive trees today. Mine is at my nun friends' place nearby.
It's roots must extend as gloriously underground :-D
ReplyDeletewow! good to see such old trees fit and fine!
ReplyDeleteThat is living history, but can't these get very old?
ReplyDeletea tremendous shot
ReplyDeleteIt does look very old indeed!
ReplyDelete100 years old? Amazing.
ReplyDeleteIf I had my own olive tree grove I would think I had died and gone to heaven.
Hi Maria! Great tree. Incredible how they grow, and last...
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments at Blogtrotter, now showing Kaunas. Never heard about it? ;) Enjoy and have a great weekend!
