The document describes an exploration of Ha Canyon in Crete, Greece by two individuals on a cloudy winter day. It details some of the features encountered within the canyon, including a small lake, impressive views from climbing on the rocks, and plants popping out despite it being winter, with almond trees even in bloom. The purpose seems to have been documenting some of the natural treasures and biodiversity found in the canyon.

Going further into the canyon is a task
only for professional climbers, with equipment,
so we preferred to climb up a bit on the rocks
and share with you the impressive view,
with plants popping out of the rocks!….
