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.

Have I ever shown you the interior of the typical Greek government office?
Thanks for your comment. How true. It also looks strange to me, the slightly informed. :) It is fun living inside this strangeness, as long as no one forces you to be that "religious."
Are you sure this is typical?! I've seen several Greek government offices and none of them look anything like this. For a start, the furniture looks like it's been there a few decades too long. I hope they were/are having a full refurbishment.
admittedly, this is the 'foyer', but the fact remains...
ReplyDeleteSurely the junk was on its way out . . .
ReplyDeleteOr no . . . ?
yes, surely it was on its way out (it's been on its way out for the last few months)
ReplyDeleteSo do Greeks also have the manyana attitude?
