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.

These have suddenly sprouted right around the rural district of Hania, but no one seems to be using them yet...
I've seen similar post boxes in Norway. All the rural areas have them. Saves the postman time, I guess.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like postman personnel reductions to me :-(
ReplyDeleteI was wondering what they were - I suspected they were mail boxes but wasn't sure.
ReplyDeleteHi Maria! I've seen one of these at Zia in Kos. Lovely!!
ReplyDeleteBilbao is at Blogtrotter for your joy. Have a great time!!
Nice big wide boxes.
ReplyDeleteAre they like in the middle of nowhere??
That's how I retrieve my mail as we don't have an address. But my mailbox is seaside so it's a nice long walk with a great view.
