Looks very under water, like it

[🐞Lucy Dolittle]

Wonderful macro. There is so etching about lichen that tells you the air quality. I think there are certain types which indicate very pure air.

@lucypics

Yes I understand lichen means pure air but did not know about different types - can feel a Google coming on!

[Vega]

nice shot and I am heading to Google too :)

great use of selective focus

[Hazel]

@lucypics @vega

This is apparently a bushy or fructicose lichen which needs very pure air - so maybe I'll go and live in the garden at Wakes House where this shot was taken. Thanks Lucy for pointing me in the direction of another bit of knowledge gained from 365!

[Judith Greenwood]

Oh that's pretty - I was going to mention the clean air but @lucypics has got there before me - we should go on University Challenge- 365 College!
