Tomb of Gullied with crustose lichens both in natural light and under 365 nm ultraviolet (UV-A) blacklight in Odd Fellow Cemetery. Anderson, Texas

🎞️ #3640-30

The image shows a headstone or tombstone that bears an inscription reading "Gullied" and is covered with lichens. The stone is illuminated by natural light and then shown under ultraviolet (UV-A) blacklight.

**Above: Natural Light**

* In the top portion of the photograph, the stone appears to be gray in color but exhibits various shades depending on the angle at which it is viewed.
* The inscription "Gullied" is visible and is carved into the stone, likely indicating that this person was buried here.
* Lichens cover the surface of the headstone. These organisms are composite organisms made up of fungi (mycobiont) and algae or cyanobacteria (photobiont). They grow on rocks, trees, and other surfaces where moisture is present.

**Below: UV-A Blacklight**

* The bottom portion of the image shows the same headstone but under ultraviolet light.
* Under this type of illumination, the colors of the lichens are much more vibrant than they were in natural light.
* Some areas of the stone appear to be dark blue or black and have a speckled appearance due to the growth of lichens.

The image provides an interesting comparison between how different types of light can affect our perception of color on a surface covered with lichen. – AI vision

🇪🇸 Descripción en español / Spanish Description

La tumba de Gullied con líquenes costrosos tanto en luz natural como bajo luz ultravioleta (UV-A) negra en el Odd Fellow Cemetery. Anderson, Texas, 9 de noviembre del 2024. La imagen muestra una lápida o piedra que lleva una inscripción con la leyenda "Gullied" y está cubierta de líquenes. La piedra se ilumina con luz natural y luego se muestra bajo luz ultravioleta (UV-A). **Arriba: Luz Natural** * En la parte superior de la fotografía, la piedra parece ser de color gris, pero exhibe varios tonos dependiendo del ángulo desde el cual se mira. * La inscripción "Gullied" es visible y está tallada en la piedra, lo que probablemente indica que esta persona fue enterrada allí. * Los líquenes cubren la superficie de la lápida. Estos organismos son organismos compuestos formados por hongos (micobionte) y algas o cianobacterias (fotobionte). Crecen en rocas, árboles y otras superficies donde hay humedad. **A continuación: Luz UV-A** * La parte inferior de la imagen muestra la misma lápida pero bajo iluminación ultravioleta. * Bajo este tipo de iluminación, los colores de los líquenes son mucho más vibrantes que en la luz natural. * Algunas áreas de la piedra parecen ser azul oscuro o negro y tienen un aspecto moteado debido al crecimiento de líquenes. La imagen proporciona una interesante comparación entre cómo diferentes tipos de luz pueden afectar nuestra percepción del color en una superficie cubierta con líquenes. – Spanish translation
