Ancient Mossiness (ONS6)

I pass our ancient village church every day (just about) and often notice the ancient wall around it, wondering who built it and how, and marvelling at how it is so worn with time in places. Today I stopped to take a closer look at some of the mossy patches and lichens that have grown there, still damp from the overnight fog by lunchtime. Yup folks, it's why England is a green and pleasant land (=wet).

Have thoroughly enjoyed a week of one-night-stands, thank you so much Jerry for leading me astray from my usual path. Thank goodness folk who really know me don't follow me on 365 or from reading this my reputation would take a swerve!! =)

Very grateful for all your views and comments and general marvellousness - thank you so much for just being you! :)
Now that is a green shot!!! As for being led astray well why not.

Lovely shot. I always want to know who touched that so many years ago, whose hands have preserved it?

Lovely shot! How "ancient" is "ancient?" (To me, an American, "ancient" is about 200 years old. LOL)

I'm all for being led astray - nice close up shot (something a bit "sci-fi" about it!)

Very nice capture of something we often overlook. I like the water drops on the green moss.

@mcmary Hi Mary! The church itself is over 600 years old - but there has been a church on the site for over 1000 years. We had the bells re-done a couple of years ago and found one was cast in 1510 - we had a party for it! (Doing the bells had cost around £36,000...) :)

I love the idea of being part of a town/village/city that has been there that long! we don't have things like that in the US
