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.

I could see it once I opened the larger size. Shame about the big building - do you know what it is? It looks very out of place.
ReplyDeleteit's part of the large silo complex owned by the cretan flour mill company. crete doesnt grow its own grain any more; as ships dock in the harbour, the flour is poured into the silos and packaged for sale
ReplyDeleteMust be so much fun to be able to see the sea and boats from home.
ReplyDeleteHaifa has a huge silo like that in the port too.
Have you managed to climb that big hill back there?
ReplyDeleteAmazing and relaxing view!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the invitation at the facebook. I made a short profile cause I don't have much time to work with it right now. I hope I will next month. I like your view! I have an issue with the sea: I can't live away from it!
ReplyDeleteThat's interesting info re: the flour mill. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLucky girl! I would spend all day on that balcony... ;)
