Arthur C. Clarke made it a place of "adult" encounters as well. I think this was in "The Songs of Distant Earth", a wonderful book despite this cringy scene.
I've been taking a close up look at moss and frankly I wouldn't recommend going to sleep on it, fantasy creature or not. It is lush, green, and damp as hell. The only thing you'd catch would not be starlight from an elven maiden, but pneumonia.
It glistens, soft and moist and very green, and makes a rewarding subject for close up photographs. But I'm not going to sleep on it.

No, far too cold and damp. 'Love on a mountain top' doesn't have much to recommend it either.
ReplyDeleteWell you know Simon I am a huge fan of moss.
ReplyDeleteOn a hot summers day walking barefoot on a carpet of damp moss is the most wonderful feeling.
Love the second image, like a mini garden.
Ha ha thanks to both of you!
ReplyDeleteOur summer days are not hot, only warm, but the mosses that can be found here are then dry, soft and warm. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the beautiful photos... and for noticing and mentioning my snowflakes in your comment!
As I always think of you as a bit of a rolling stone (you do get around a bit) then there is no wonder you don't like moss particularly.
ReplyDeleteSuperb images.
