Kristsa Village is located 9 km to the south of Agios Nikolaus, Crete, Greece, on a 365m altitude, Kritsa is built in a semi-circular shape and consists of 2200 residents. It is one of the oldest villages on Crete and retains even today elements of the Venetian architecture. Kritsa is a traditional village with old houses and narrow streets on the Lassithi (Dikti) mountains. Women of Kritsa were famous for their weaving, lace making and embroidery skills and it is still possible to buy hand made items.

Margarites Village – known for its pottery, is in Rethymnon in central Crete, Greece. This demonstration of the artist in the village reminds me of our Sunday outing 50 years ago of visiting potteries workshop in Singapore. The cottage industry has disappeared with urban renewal of our country.

Night Falls

This cat was spotted at another site earlier. As the night falls, the ranger expected the cat to return safety to this location for a night. We arrived here before the cat returned. Finally,this image was captured. I think knowing the habitats of animal is essential for wild life photography.
At a lapse of seven years. I have not been to any safari. Found this one captured in Sri Lanka safari in 2010.
I am off to safari again. This time heading to Tanzania. Hopefully, will come home with more images of wild life to share with you. Until then, I hope you will enjoy seeing this one.
