Lichen abstract

While the colors are pretty dull, I was fascinated by the patterns and durability of the lichen on the mountains when we went to Nome last June. I took a few abstracts just for fun and this was one of them. I think some better side lighting would have helped. If I recall correctly, it was overcast when I took this. Once you looked down and saw all this growth, it was hard to step anywhere for fear of damaging them.

Dennis: There is a whole lot of, “What is this?” in this image. Hard to get the scale and the shapes and textures are really interesting. Well seen and captured.>=))>
