A special sunrise in Crete. Μια ξεχωριστή ανατολή του ήλιου στην Κρήτη

It was special not because of its glorious beauty. It was special for me because I was watching it from the balcony of the old family house, where I was born and lived my childhood years. And the few days I spend there a couple of weeks ago, I was able to witness it again.
Ήταν ξεχωριστή όχι για την ομορφιά της. Για μένα ήταν ξεχωριστή, επειδή μπόρεσα να την παρακολουθήσω ξανά, ύστερα από πολύ καιρό από το μπαλκόνι του πατρικού μου σπιτιού, τις λίγες μέρες που πέρασα εκεί πριν από δυό βδομάδες.

I have been to Crete once, for 2 weeks, and I saw many places from the north to the south on the west coast.
I guess there are still much to explore, and your images advertise the island in a beautiful way.
