20 Photos Of Nature Winning The Battle Against Civilization
You
might have to plant the flowers in your backyard to see some green
action, but plants will grow from just about anywhere if you give them
enough time. If you abandoned your home today and returned many years
later, you might find trees growing right out of your bedroom walls, and
plants the size of beanstalks shooting straight up out of your
floorboards.
Plants are incredibly resilient, and can grow
from the most unlikely places so long as they have a source of sun and
water. These man-made objects, buildings, and entire cities are no match
for the rapid growth of plant life. Check out these unbelievable photos
of nature wining the battle against civilization.
