Trentepohlia aurea

A common but unusual green algae, the orange colour is due to large amounts of beta carotene, this masks the green chlorophyll that would normally give plants their green colour. Taken at The Bog, Shropshire on the old stone wall of the Powder House, where the explosives were kept when the mines were operational. Its also present at many of the old lead mine sites nearby.

An old road at The Rock in South Shropshire on a cold, damp and misty but beautiful day. In the summer this area is alive with insects and other wildlife, a favourite place of mine.
