Rusty Rocks

Somehow these dolerite rocks remind me of the sort that Leonardo Da Vinci included in his paintings like "The Virgin of the Rocks". www.nationalgallery.org.uk/paintings/leonardo-da-vinci-th...

 

Of course that rusty look isn't there in those paintings, as these orange lichens are mostly found in Tasmania, which was completely unknown to the outside world in the 15th century.
