Close-up view of moss growing on a high garden brick wall, with slender, elongated spore capsules extending upwards. The background is blurred, showing a brick wall and rooftops, creating a contrast between the natural growth and the urban environment.

It seems a tiny hole in the concrete of a brick wall makes a perfect place for moss to thrive in an urban space.

A close-up view of a paved surface with moss growing between the cracks of the paving stones. There are small plants and twigs scattered around, and a lamppost which is partially visible on the right side of the image. The moss and plants add a touch of green to the otherwise gray and brown pavement.

A close-up view of a window corner with a white frame and sill. There is a small patch of green moss growing at the base of the window frame, near the corner where the frame meets the brick wall. The brick wall is partially visible on the right side of the image, showing a mix of red and beige bricks. The window glass has some black marks or scratches on it. The white sill appears to be slightly dirty with some debris and stains.

Photo taken from the level of the road. A concrete road and low kerb. Moss cushions grow along the gap between the two.
Sunlight makes them glow light bright green. Behind continues the paving slabs, a grass lawn, part of a car on a drive and a dustbin.
