⟪⟪    Lichen iridescence    ⟫⟫

 

Iridescence caused by a layer of an unknown substance on these lichens. In each case, the first photo was taken with direct sunlight shining on the lichen, whereas I blocked the sun in the second picture. This way, only diffuse light would shine on the lichens, removing the iridescence effect.
