I am never tired looking at them and admiring them when I am in Crete. Summer and winter. The White Mountains of western Crete. The distance peaks still hold some of the snow it fell a month ago. A little lower of the closer peak at the left, there is a white spot against the darker side of the mountain. It is the little church where I took the photographs of the eagle last summer and which you can again see here.
Δεν χορταίνω τα τα κοιτώ και να τα θαυμάζω όσο βρίσκομαι στην Κρήτη. Χειμώνα καλοκαίρι. Τα Λευκά Όρη ή Μαδάρες των Χανίων. Οι πιό μακρυνές κορφές κρατούν ακόμη λίγο από το χιόνι που έπεσε πριν από ένα περίπου μήνα. Κι αν προσέξετε λίγο το άσπρο σημαδάκι λίγο πιο κάτω από την κοντινότερη κορυφή, είναι το εκκλησάκι του Αγίου Πνέυματος, από όπω τράβηξα τις φωτογραφίες του αετού το καλοκαίρι που μας πέρασε και που μπορείτε να τον ξαναδείτε εδώ.
The small village at the root of the mountains is the village I was born. It was covered in snow a month ago but it did not last long.
Και το χωριό μου στις ρίζες το βουνού. Πριν από ένα μήνα είχε καλυφτεί με χιόνι αλλά δεν κράτησε πολύ.
Another view of the mountains, taken from a spot closer to the town of Chania in Western Crete. Part of the suburbs of the town in shown.
Και μιά άλλη άποψη των Λευκών Ορέων τραβηγμένη πάνω από την Σούδα, κοντά στα Χανιά.
Such beautiful landscapes. For whatever reason, I never thought of Greece as having snow. It's always a delight to see your pictures.
