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

Moss cushion growing on a sheltered window sill.
📍Woodingdean, Brighton, UK
🔬💚 #iseemoss #urbanmoss #mossmatters #mossmonday

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.
