Now that the weather has turned a bit more stormy I've decided to start a new mini-project looking for colour on bleak days.
A red and yellow lifeguard flag is reflected on a wet beach. In the background are swimmers and surfers.

High tide at sunrise meant that I couldn't walk on the local beach so I went across the estuary to Instow for my morning photography #EastCoastKin #sunrise #Devon

Before it's let loose on creating art & music and stealing jobs can we just get AI to sort out the important stuff for mankind. So far on my list in no particular order; cure cancer, end world poverty, make a printer that connects and works when you want it to.

Next time someone tells you that train drivers "just push buttons" show them this from the BBC
The driver "managed to contact the control
centre at Network Rail and get the train
diverted onto the slow line", Calder says.


"That was absolutely crucial because this
train was scheduled to be travelling through
Huntingdon station on the tracks with no
platform at 125mph."


"It didn't stop in the middle of nowhere,
which would have been very difficult."


Calder thinks this was handled in the "safest
possible way" thanks to the "incredible
professionalism from the driver and the
police". Train drivers are trained on how to
take appropriate action, he adds,

It's #Stunday! I think shooting very long exposures can be stunning. This is a 6.25 minute exposure made in very heavy fog. I spent quite a bit of time on processing this beast in three different programs. And then stopped. #landscape #photography #infrared #ir #EastCoastKin #longexposure #fog

Exploring #lichens on the #Isle-of-Rona in #Scotland A special set of lichens grow on coastal rocks, where they must cope with varying amounts of salt water splashing them or covering them. They grow in coloured zones on the rocks Tap/click the caption to expand it #lichenGBI #FungiFriends #coast
Blue sea at the bottom, below steep coastal rocks, then a rough grass and heather hillside, with blue sky at the top.

Some of the colours on the rocks are the lichens growing on them. A black zone is usually found on rocky coasts, just above the high water mark. This is not a deposit of spilt oil, but a black lichen growing on the rock.

Above the black is usually an orange zone. A number of orange lichens grow there, able to  cope with salt water splashing them, but not as well as the black lichens.

The orange zone grades into a grey zone, of lichens able to cope with sea spray but not direct regular splashing. The grey zone then slowly grades into lichens usually found on inland rocks. The sea may still influence the lichen flora for a mile or more away from the coast.

Below the black zone is the barnacle zone where the rocks are submerged twice a day. Other lichens may sometimes be found between the high water and low water marks. No lichens grow below the low water mark, where rocks are permanently submerged in the sea.

In this post we look at a couple of lichens found in the lowest, the intertidal zone.Rocks partially covered with a smooth olive green coating, with two barnacles growing on it.

The smooth green coating on these rocks is the lichen Wahlenbergiella mucosa. The name reflects the fact that the original type specimens were collected by Göran Wahlenberg from northern Europe. The surface is smooth and shiny, without cracks. Its colour can vary from olive-green when growing in shaded places (as here), to black when in direct sunlight.A close up view of a piece of rock coated with Wahlenbergiella mucosa. The lichen is black on the top, horizontal surface where it receives much sunlight, but dark green on the vertical surface which is shaded from the sun.

Little detail can be seen in the lichen, which forms a smooth, shiny coating on the rock. The lichen reproduces by means of fungal spores, produced in perithecia. These are immersed within the lichen and do not protrude from it. Sometimes the tops of the perithecia may be visible as a series of small black dots, though I cannot see any in this photo from the east coast of Rona.A close up view of a single barnacle, which fills much of the frame, though parts of two other barnacles can be seen behind it. All three are attached to rocks that are pale orange in colour and partially covered with the dark olive-green of Wahlenbergiella mucosa. The pale orange may be an alga growing on the rock.

On the shell of the barnacle numerous very tiny black holes may be seen, no larger than 0.25 mm across. These tiny pits are the only evidence that a lichen is living embedded within the shell of the barnacle.

The lichen is called Collemopsidium foveolatum and is common around the shores of Britain and Ireland, except in parts of the south and east of England where rocky coasts are not found.

There are other species of Collemopsidium where the perithecia are more visible on the surface, but this was the only species I was able to find on Rona. Wherever barnacles, limpets or other shells are found, it is worth looking closely with a lens to see whether any have this lichen.
