GOLD AND THREADS
The Usnea lichen is the longest lichen in the world. I found this lichen drapery in Olympic National Park, where there were hundreds of similar strands dropping off the branches of a Bigleaf Maple, reminding me of the Spanish Moss of the deep South, though they are not botanically related. I returned to the location four days in a row, refining my vision of what I wanted to capture, and eventually the lighting was just right.
The golden background color is from out-of-focus autumn maple leaves. Olympic National Park, USA.
