In a small Lichen world everything is huge. A pile of rocks and soil look like a mountain covered in greenery.
The Lichen greenery.
The tiny cups are few mm across and less than 1cm in height. Growing all proud on the mountain side.
Even though they are super small they are pure joy to shoot! First of all they don't move :)
Second of all... they still don't move. Not a bit!
A nice clay background is a bonus. If they grow on the edge of a wood is also a bonus - you can get a nice, clean background.
This is Cladonia by the way. There is a few of them with this lovely cup shape and all very similar. It is also called trumpet cup lichen which is definitely easier to remember.
Bonus song for today:
U2 - One tree hill
year 1988
Shot with Nikon D5500 + Sigma 105mm lens

The lichen cups mountain out very beautifully in the photo!
Thank you :)
I'm sure we can make this blow up. Wikipedia tells me there is a fungi connection in there. I think they must be the best of friends#LichenTuesday
Yea.. fungi and algae ;) BFF :Dhahah #LichenTuesday sounds pretty nice :)
That is a damn cool gif!
awesome
I love your lichen shots. It helps to have your eye! That green is so lovely, with tinges of lavender. I wish I dreamt in those colors. Maybe I do and that's why I love these so much.
Thank you! The colours are great indeed. I wish I could get even closer shot to get all the little details visible. One day :)
Beautiful your plants, I admire how well you maintain and take care of them
Beautiful shots, congratulations for the excellent shots
have a beautiful nighthow are you dear friend @ewkaw good night
Thank you! Those are not my plants though, but wild growing lichen. They are all over the place :)
If you are right, I misunderstood, I thought you were referring to a form of the plant and you are talking about a place
¨Growing all proud on the mountainside.¨
No worries :)
What great photos @ewkaw as always! I like the approach and perspectives you give to your works 🖤
Thank you! :)
🙂☺️
I feel some short of brotherhood that we're downvoted by the same bot :)
Nice pictures!
Hahah those are just auto downvotes that follow multiple large accounts. No need to pay attention to them :)
Thank you!
Sure, just joking :)
Stunning macro photography of Lichen greenery. A great combination of photography and music. Bravo.👍 (P.S. Already enjoyed the song a few times!)
Niceee glad you liked the song too :)
It's so beautiful, I also just saw it for the first time.
I wonder if you could find them in your country...
yes, I will try to find it if there is
The Cladonias are so beautifyl. I don't know if I actually seen one before or jyst didn't pay close attention.
Your shots are incredible of this beautiful tiny nature.
Thanks for sharing. I always learn something new from your posts.
I would be very curious to see if you have them there. Lichens grow almost everywhere, but maybe not exactly this type.
Glad you liked it :)
I will be looking for them now and I will let you know.
Only you could make Lichen look beautiful, and a less known U2 song - Joshua Tree is most certainly their best ever album.
It is damn good indeed. I do enjoy newer ones too, but lost track and interest after "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb".
I really only like the old stuff. One thing's for sure though, they put on a great show, I was at a gig of there's in Croke Park a few years back for the Joshua Tree anniversary tour. Pretty cool night I must say..
Niceeee :)
I was on only one of their concerts when they were on their Verigo tour and played in Chorzów, Poland in 2005.
Nice one!! Looks like a seriously good Gig 🤘
