The orange lichen found on the granite boulders of Binalong Bay in Tasmania’s Bay of Fires is one of the area’s most iconic features. The coloration comes from a species of lichen which thrives in the coastal environment thanks to its tolerance for salty air and strong sunlight. The lichen-covered rocks give the coastline a glowing, almost surreal appearance. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 17-35mm lens (at 17mm) ISO 200, f/20 at 1/40th of a second.

Beautiful, Sean! I love the sunlight starburst you captured in this image.

Gorgeous! Love that you captured this from a low vantage close to the rocks.
