Some people think in terms of nation-states as if they're homogeneous, while I prefer to think locally, because I encountered very different ecosystems within walking distance, due to different local micro-climates. I started with dry grassy fields when I entered the park, but soon I got into a forest in a valley. I think this is the fungus ramalinaceae, which I've never seen outside the SLO area. #sanluisobispo #morrobay #forest #trail #singletrack #hiking #mountainbike #outdoors #photography #darktable
