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.
The decay of the building is generating its own artwork. Sad to be neglected, and yet so very fascinating to see how weather and time leave footprints on our frames.
Uh oh, this sounds ominous. Hope it's not prompted by your election results.
ReplyDeleteEarthly, historic photo! Great! I wonder how old the building is? How are the elections coming out in Greece?
