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.
While surfing about GMOs, I came across your blog. I lived near Chania for awhile 12 years ago. Your photos and text brought back fond memories and a tear to my eye. Crete is one of the most fascinating places on the earth, wild and free, where the very quality of the air is laden with history and light. Hoping to go back one day!
Very beautiful. There is something magical about lighthouses.
ReplyDeletelovely capture!!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! Sunsets by the sea are some of the most beautiful sceneries one can experience.
ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting looking lighthouse. At first I thought it was a minaret!
