The solitary cyclist
This photograph was taken on one of those rare, rainy winter days in Chania, when the usually bustling Old Venetian Harbor falls eerily quiet. The streets, often filled with the voices of travelers and the hum of café life in the summer, are here washed clean and empty — a mirror of stone and water under a muted sky.
In the center of the frame, a solitary cyclist rides slowly past the iconic Yali Tzami, holding an umbrella as he navigates the slick, rain-swept promenade. The sea glimmers cold in the background, and in the distance stands the familiar lighthouse — a sentinel unchanged, watching over the empty benches and vintage lampposts that line the harbor.
I chose to present this image in black and white to emphasize the starkness of the scene — the silence, solitude, and subtle drama of winter in a place known for its light and warmth. The monochrome palette draws attention to the texture of the wet stones, the reflections on the pavement, and the simple grace of the human figure in motion.
This photograph captures a fleeting moment of calm in Chania, a quiet in-between season when the city reveals a more intimate and contemplative side — one that locals know well, but few visitors ever witness.
