Two Months in Crete : Sketch - Old Town Laundry


Old Town Laundry, Chania
(Markers and watercolour in 195x195 mm sketchbook)

Another afternoon in the hot sun. Urban sketching in Chania can be difficult from the point of view of finding a shaded spot that affords a view worth drawing.

Why is the Laundry sign in English rather than Greek? I imagine it's because, being a tourist town, the people who need a laundromat are tourists and English is the language of tourism.
