A Brief Microgeography of London


I was doing other things in London today so I didn't have much time. Consequently, this is a very brief microgeographical  exploration of london. Nevertheless, it does demonstrate a very rich microgeographical landscape that is ripe for exploration.

The Uban Cryptobiotic Crust (a complex community of cyanobacteria, moulds and other microbes) on a wall in South Bank. Also a square zone of inhibition caused by something interferring with the UBC. A shadow from a building perhaps diminishing its access to light.
