Mexica carved images meant to remain unseen! This is Tlaltecuhtli, the living Earth itself. His body forms the ground beneath our feet, and here he appears with the head of Cipactli. These Images were part of monuments, facing the earth. They were made for Tlaltecuhtli to see, not for human eyes.

Rhizocarpon sp #lichen in the process of “taking over” another species of crustose lichen. This Rhizocarpon is the yellow-green colour. The species it is taking over is grey…see top, left of pic. A lichenologist recently explained that several species of Rhizocarpon do this.
