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.

Another bird's eye view
While I was getting a few jobs done in the town, I chanced on this view from one of the taller buldings in the town (none of which are much higher than 6 stories high). You can see the old town looking out towards the harbour. The large long building on the right is the left wing of the Agora market.
Don't forget to take part in the quiz!

lovely view!
ReplyDeleteLooks nice!
ReplyDeleteGood one. I feel I'm there, looking out the window. It puts places you've talked about into place.
ReplyDeleteMust be nice to have no really tall buildings.
In Jerusalem I like to wander into random tall buildings in search of a photo op. But so often all the windows are inside the locked offices.
First time here and I had a great time looking at your blog
ReplyDeleteI think there always works around the Agora when I went around... or was I wrong?
