Lichens in Athens




Hiking along a steep path steeply on the Lykavittos hill in Athens, I found a rock with some lichens. Getting close up to them made me feel closer to home. I admire their ability to find spots no other plant wants to claim, so they aren't threatened and they can have a very long lifetime partly because they need very little to live.
