Choosy lichen at Newhaven Heights
Image: © Robin Webster Taken: 15 Jul 2010
Living on this "private park" of mini-houses is a curiously choosy orange-yellow lichen. On the near roof it is profuse, and on a few others, yet most roofs are completely clean. With one exception, the only roofs with lichen are those that started out light grey. It is the more intense colours that are clean. The exception, just inside the boundary straight ahead, is light red.
