    A bit controversial, but did you know that graveyards are a hotspot for lichen? Apparently it has to do with the diversity and types of materials used, and these being left alone mostly. One of the leading dutch specialists recently cited in an article to easily find a few hundred species in a single yard, including species never described before.
    
    Do with it what you want, I'm personally not comfortable photographing in graveyards, I worry people take it the wrong way. Posted 3 years ago

      Yes I did know that Ferdy, it's the identification that takes the time. Around us there are different sandstones, granites (the polished aren't that good), limestones etc. - On Jura whilst not entering a cemetery at Inverlussa, I took a few photos of the "monuments. Haven't tried to identify the lichens yet.

        It's really hard to bring across "did you know" facts to you if you know all facts. But it's not unexpected :)
