orange hue lichen [it?]

^{[I originally posted this entry as early access for my Patreon patrons on 24 October 2020].}

I've been working on a submission for a new online magazine this afternoon.

In reviewing photos to submit, I rediscovered this image I took at Burgess Cove in Tasmania in March 2018 that I'd edited in January 2019 but not yet shared anywhere.

It struck me that I didn't know what the orange on the rocks was. A quick Google search informed me it's lichen creating that distinctive colour. It's the same or a similar lichen that possibly gives the Bay of Fires in Tasmania its name.

Once again, my love of photography leads me to learn new things, which in turn is something else I love :)
