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.

View north
The view facing north from the road near our house. We would have this view if our house were one more storey higher than it was built. But if we walk two minutes up the road (before it starts going down), this is what we see.The road leads through fields until it comes out on the main busy road skirting the beach.

Fields, beach, a mountain, low houses--what else could a person ask for??
ReplyDeleteThat is the kind of view I like - green and the sea in the background.
