For today's Journal Image I took a photograph that was taken with a film camera in May 2000 and scanned then processed that image.

I chose this particular photograph to process today after being contacted by a cousin this morning who was asking for information about our common Greek Grandfather and his parents. I didn't have any information for her about our Great Grandparents but I did have information about relatives that were alive on the island of Crete when we visited twenty-two years ago.

This photograph was taken when our nephew took us sight seeing around the island of Crete where my Grandfather was born and raised.

The Monastery of Arkadi is located approximately 14 miles (23km) from Rethymnon where we were staying. This Greek Orthodox Church dates back to the 16th Century and is a Baroque architectural style and influenced by the Renaissance.

I remember well the day we visited this landmark and am grateful that I was able to relive that trip this morning through all of the photographs that I had taken then.
