Rock Abstracts - Bay of Fires by Lexa Harpell

A close up look at the fascinating Bay of Fires rocks in Tasmania, Australia.
Orange lichen covers the rocks at the Bay of Fires on Tasmania's east coast. Water and wind erode the lichen in places forming fabulous contrasts.

White rock is left bare as the waves wash the bright orange lichen away, leaving a stunning display.

This lichen grows in many places in Tasmania, although Bay of Fires has the most condensed and largest amount in one place.

As early European discoverers sailed into the bay, they thought the bay was on fire upon seeing the coastline rocks covered in this bright orange lichen.
