Pathogen Green

‘Pathogen Green’

I took this outside of one of my favourite haunts – an abandoned building so ridiculously big I’ve never worked out what it once was.

It’s nestled by a fast running stream and the trees surrounding it crowd and form a kind of witchy rainforest.

At this time of year the moss is intense and vibrant it reminds me of one of those science library images of pathogens.

I want to do a whole series on moss because it has a wonderful horror movie quality. Finding a spot completely covered like this feels like teleporting into the Jurassic period.
