This is an extreme close-up photograph of a faded stone carving of two hands shaking. The hands appear to have been carved from marble or another type of stone and are covered with lichens that give the surface a greenish hue. Lichen is a composite organism consisting of a fungus that lives among filaments of algae or cyanobacteria (also called blue-green algae) growing on its surface. Lichens grow in many different shapes and sizes, including as crusts on rocks. They also have many different habitats; they can be found growing on trees, shrubs, buildings, bare ground, gravel, soil, rock, and even other lichens. The handshake symbol is often used to represent the idea of peace or friendship between nations, groups, or individuals. It is sometimes depicted as a gesture of goodwill, trust, or solidarity. The image shows a close-up view of the stone carving, with the lichen-covered surface giving it a weathered appearance. The photograph was taken in City Cemetery in Bryan, Texas, on December 8, 2018. – AI vision |
En el musgo y líquen del bordillo (Xanthocarpia feracissima, Caloplaca feracissima) sobre el símbolo de la mano extendida en una tumba en el Cementerio Municipal. Bryan, Texas, 8 de diciembre de 2018. Esta es una fotografía muy cercana a una escultura de piedra desvaída de dos manos que se tocan. Las manos parecen haber sido esculpidas de mármol u otro tipo de piedra y están cubiertas con líquenes que le dan al superficie un tono verdoso. El líquen es un organismo compuesto formado por un hongo que vive entre filamentos de algas o cianobacterias (también llamadas algas azules) que crecen en su superficie. Los líquenes crecen en muchas formas y tamaños, incluso como costras en rocas. También tienen muchos hábitats; se pueden encontrar creciendo en árboles, arbustos, edificios, suelos desnudos, grava, suelo, roca e incluso otros líquenes. El símbolo de la mano extendida se utiliza a menudo para representar la idea de paz o amistad entre naciones, grupos o individuos. A veces se representa como un gesto de buena voluntad, confianza o solidaridad. La imagen muestra una vista cercana a la escultura de piedra, con el superficie cubierto de líquenes que le da un aspecto desgastado. La fotografía fue tomada en el Cementerio Municipal de Bryan, Texas, el 8 de diciembre de 2018. – Spanish translation |
