Sky view between the tall trees that kept us cool the whole time!
As it is a a period of grief for all Greece right now, I look at these photos of the trees and the forest in the gorge, and they are so beautiful, I remember the fresh air and the cool breeze under the beautiful trees, and I cannot even imagine how these unimaginably beautiful forests in Peloponnisos, Evia, and elsewhere that were totally burn, how they will be now! It will be like a paradise turned to hell in only some hours! It's a total crime against life!

Samaria Gorge - Strange Plant

This strange plant was standing on the pathway. Many wildlife plants and animals were in the gorge, and it's good that they are protected because many of them are rare!
This reminds me again though of the fires that destroyed the most beautiful parts of Greece, the damage there is irreversible!
