don't walk on the moss

never knew that but understand foot print on life

I bet those are absolutely stunning to see, with the green color. I wish you had a photo, I would have loved to see these. That is so interesting about the footprints but I can believe that. Moss is so delicate.

I don't know about the thousands of years, but it definitely would make a mess of it.

I remember going from Iceland to the Faroes. The Faroes don't have an abundance of grass and earth etc, but compared to Iceland it's lush :-) So you can walk of paths and roads without leaving a print that will last forever. I really liked the colour of the Icelandic moss, the bright green against the black lava. The colours are so strong they don't look real.

That's so interesting. I do know about people leaving prints, for example when people go spelunking, they should not touch the stalagmites and stalactites because the human hand have oil that leaves dark marks on the formations. It gets ruined forever and no amount of time will ever make the water formations in the cave back to its original color. But I only heard about it the same thing for moss. I always thought that they are the same as plants that can grow back and cover the same area again.
