This is the local river in the rain forest. Had a stroll down there yesterday. The lichen is one of my favorites. Goldstream River ( photo / image / picture from Kildale's Garden ) ( photo / image / picture from Kildale's Garden )
I adore the top photo. It looks so ancient and tranquil, and I sort of expect to see a little dinosaur there somewhere, or a Norwegian hulder.
A great close up shot of the lichen Kildale. The first photograph is very atmospheric and reminds me of some of the burns we have here in Scotland.
