@Craig thanks for one more id @Emma,when you se the first photo it's the impression.I promise to count all the diferent species that live in these wall's,because they are some times aparently fragile beens and in the end they smash the migthy granite into sand:-)beautiful,i allways like this kind of ways of nature putting the things in there place,it's a question of time

initially I thought that it looked like some fungi. What beats me is how they cut them selves thru the granite!
