Pink Facades & Green Shutters in Chania

I came across the cutest pastel pink building facade in Chania Port for my Monday Window! It has these four charming windows framed by vibrant green shutters, all nicely arranged in two uplifting rows. Each window leads to a delightful little balcony with wrought iron railings that give it an elegant touch. I couldn’t help but notice a cheerful table and chairs set up there—just perfect for soaking up the sun! I even spotted a single person on the upper left balcony, dressed in lively colors, which added a joyful vibe to the peaceful, symmetrical scene. The soft natural light made everything pop, especially the lovely contrast between the pink wall and the green shutters.

I came across these images from our visit to Las Vegas, these are taken from our hotel window reflections. I find the rather impressive and artistic.

Savannah – by the river

Cities, Photography, Travel, Traveling US

Talking about Belles, in the afternoon we rode the free Savannah Belles ferry on the Savannah River. The ferries sail a triangle between the Waving Girl Statue, the City Hall and Convention Center. The view wasn’t that great but at least we can say we were on the Savannah River. Also, we met a very nice Polish American couple from New Jersey on the ferry. I guessed their origins from his accent. However, it was the lady who did most of the talking and boy could she talk. After we parted, she walked back to us and gave us their email address in case we ever need a place to stay in New Jersey. Nice!

After the ferry we walked along the River Street enjoying its old warehouses with their shop, restaurants and bars. We had drinks at the Warehouse Bar & Grillissä and then we had to hurry back to the hotel for the complimentary cocktail hour. The evening was spent on the River Street again having dinner at the Vic’s By The River, where we had the pleasure of tasting Shrimp and Grits.

Couple extra facts: If you paint the front door of your home or business red in Savannah, Georgia, it means you have
paid it off and are the 100% owner.

Colorful tunnel

The tunnel to the railway station was always dirty, full of graffiti, dark and dingy. Nowadays it is colorful, bright and no one has yet done any graffiti art or scribble there which is a nice surprise
