Another shot from yesterday’s lunchtime stroll. The Winter Gardens is one of my favourite buildings in Sheffield, it’s a pleasure to explore with a camera; there are so many interesting compositions to find within its arches, struts, windows and foliage.

I found myself in the town centre, camera in hand this morning – 3 hours, 2 coffees and 400 snaps later here’s the first of many from today!

Today’s post was inspired by a conversation last night about these fascinating organisms called Tardigrades or Water Bears. These little microscopic eight-legged animals are the only known organism to have survived in space, fully exposed to solar radiation, they can survive temperatures from almost absolute zero to 150 degrees Centigrade, repair their own DNA, and survive in a dehydrated stasis for years to then return to life when rehydrated as if by magic! One of their favourite habitats is moss, so there’s probably some in today’s photo. Ten points if you can spot one…
