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.

A view of the buildings by the Venetian harbour in Hania.
Thanks for the picture, it brought me back to the fall of 2000 when my husband and I visited Crete. Hania was one of our favorites, and it is our daughter's middle name now. We hope to take her there some day so she can see the beauty that inspired her name.
