Uprising to the Max
HAPPY SLIDERS SUNDAY !!
For the second of two consecutive images of lichen that appear to be rising, I decided to take some of my sliders to the max. The main departures from reality are the highly increased contrast and the bright blue color.
For those curious:
These lichen are growing on the flat top of a low, sunny, cement retaining wall. The wall is about 1 m high and 30cm thick. The lichen grow most densely on the part of the wall-top closest to the street. (bottom of this image). The growth is progressively less dense going from the street side of the wall to where the wall retains soil below a topping of grass. It is my guess that the reason for the diminished growth is because the temperature of the wall decreases from its street side to its soil side. It isn't a direct shade effect. The whole top of the wall gets the same sunlight.
Location: A low retainng wall in front of an old church, Riehen BS Switzerland.
