Everywhere people with camera's find their way in this world to make their shots. I like the art of taking realistic pictures, because it provides a way to show how I experience this world. It is a way for other people to look through my eyes.Nature ... exists primarily for her face, her look, her appeals to the heart and the imaginationGeorge MacDonaldJan-Carel Vierbergen

Since my childhood I'm used to walk with father, brothers, cousins, etc., and take pictures (Minolta X-700 with 28-70 mm and 100-300 mm zoom) of what I see. I grew up in Ede (The Netherlands), studied Electrical Engineering in Eindhoven and I am working now as Coordinator e-learning at the Christelijke Hogeschool Ede (http://www.che.nl) where I implement digital assessments for students and assist students in DTP and creating websites.
Since I know little about photographing as well as computer science it was not difficult to find ways for putting images on the web. The only thing to look for now is to find ways for showing the slides in a convenient way. I tried already something at http://www.che.nl/users/jcv (Dutch only, click at Dia's van de natuur in Nederland en de Alpen), but this platform provides good means to share my pictures with others.
I hope you enjoy this!

It seems to live much more lushly than lichens around here which tend to turn black and dry up.

http://www.lichen.com/bigpix/Cprostrata.html you are correct to the identity. I thought I heard that some people eat it and it was used as famine food and put in breads. excellent capture

Lichen is such an amazing lifeform, so sensitive to its surrounding environment, and so many varieties in shape and form. I think jelly fungi are the most interesting to me. I digress, my apologies my friend. Fantastic capture Jan! I hope your weekend is wonderously magnificent!

I have alot of this lichen around me too but have not tried to capture it yet. These is so much complexity to the patterns etc... you got it nailed though!
