The well of the Turk

What do you think you will find if you walk 50m up the road to the well of the Turk? This sign is found in Splantzia, on one of the high walled narrow buildings in the maze of streets that was once the Arabian-Turkish area of Hania.

ABC Wednesday: Yellow

It's ABC Wednesday again, and Y is for yellow.

Yellow is the colour of choice for safety and visibility. The traffic light post, the telephone box and the notice board) which is empty, are all painted yellow, outside Hania's stadium, which is found behind the iron bars. The stadium is used by a lot of young people every day; it's a pity it has to look so drab on the outside. Maybe Y should have stood for yuck instead.

This shot has been taken across the road from the kitschy quaint clock tower in the municipal gardens.

The beach

A while back, I took a photo of a calm deserted beach.

Here's the photo of the same beach as it looks today, from a slightly different angle. It will be like this for a little while longer before it takes its undisturbed appearance in October once again (when the last European chartered flight departs Chania International Airport, and turns it into Chania Domestic Airport for the winter season).

Cool kids

After a quick visit to the barber:

As cool as cucumbers,
As grubby as worms.

Saturday morning outside the tax department in Hania.

Camera critters: bumble bee

The bumble bee isn't alone - there are another twenty or so insects in the artichoke's purple petals, all feeding off the nectar.
