If you are a Micro 4/3 user and you don't have the Lumix 20mm 1.7 it is worth saving up for one. You can get a used one at a good price. I got mine used from eBay for under $230. The original and the II are optically similar. The II has a metal body.

Lichens are very sensitive to pollution. Their absence is used as indicators of bad air quality. They are rarely found in cities but you found a place where the air is clean and fresh.
