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.

One of the most beautiful beaches in Hania (Falasarna) is slightly marred by the appearance of so many greenhouses right along the coastline...
Re you comment: the well known "greenhouse-effect" - sun comes in, heat stays in. And of course to get the right kind of humidity and temperature with additional heat when needed etc. etc.
Can you see the greenhouses from the beach?
ReplyDeleteA beautiful shore.
ReplyDeleteGreenhouses, well, it could be a lot worse. Those are big ones.
That is gorgeous! Hope you get to swim there this summer
ReplyDeleteWhat breathtaking scenery, that sea is just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWe use greenhouses to increase the temperature - do you need to do that??
ReplyDeleteWhat are they growing in there?
ReplyDeleteMy guess: tomatoes!
A sister isle of great beauty!

ReplyDeletesummer veges are grown in these greenhouses in the winter - at the moment, they are empty and lifeless
