Heraklion

Heraklion stands on the northern coast of Crete, and its harbour front carries both the ferry traffic of the Aegean and the stone fortifications of the old port. My photographs show a wooden ramp leading to the arched timber gate of a stone fortress wall carved with a marble lion relief, thick limestone blocks with small arched recesses, and a rusted iron anchor on a cobbled quay. Yachts and motorboats lie moored across turquoise water, with arched stone boat sheds and the waterfront town behind. My videos pan from a ferry port vehicle queue to a ro-ro ferry with its bow door open, along a concrete harbour mole, and up to an airliner climbing overhead.
