Yikes - its "Day of the Trifids". My son was there 8 years ago and I loved the pictures he sent back. This is an amazing picture of nature at work. Love the framing and focus. Thanks for the memories.

It always amazes me what mother nature is able to do. This huge tree amazes me how it has just grown right into the ruins. Thanks for sharing this amazing mother nature photo.

Nice composition and subject matter. Capturing the man-made support in the image gives it a great storyline. The color seems a bit too pinkish for me. Where the sun hits the tree directly, there is nice natural color which makes the rest of the image seem a bit off color-wise. Thanks much for sharing.

Really amazing image of the trees that almost seem malignant as they grow across the temple. Excellent lighting and depth of field. Good framing and focus as well.

When mankind leaves, nature takes over. Reclaiming the land. This is an amazing shot, and the lighting really shows up the shapes of the tree. Great work.

What an amazing site! I love trees - I particularly find their root systems fascinating. What a find Fred. Is the top of the tree still alive with these exposed roots? Nice angle and presentation. Kathy

Another amazing photograph of this natural growth overtaking a man made structure. A vivid reminder that nature rules all and is the most powerful force on this planet. Great frame and light, well done.

I swear, it looks like some sort of alien thing oozing over the side of the building and trying to take over!

But, I love the angle and the colors. REally nice. Thanks for sharing.
