The following photograph was taken at the Tikona [तिकोणा in the local language] fort in Pune in the winter of 2006. It shows how a fig has grown and has got its hold on a bastion of the old fort using the gaps between the stone bricks. This tree must have become very big now I guess :) Happy me if true.
The following photograph was taken in the Parshuram Temple in Konkan in the beginning of the monsoon of 2006. The algae has taken over the filling between the bricks.
If we still give a chance, nature can take over everything we have artificially produced; everything will be forestified — Earth will be beautiful again.

The hemiepiphyte is a strangler fig tree?
ReplyDeletehow absolutely gorgeous! i LOVE the tree - climbing its way to the sky! beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYes, why do people try to STOP nature and keep it back? Why not integrate the natural world with our puny structures instead??? It would be lovelier and would help spread a feeling of peace and wellness in the world, to try to live in a more integrated way with nature. And I am glad that nature, in the end, will always win and return things to their natural, beautiful state...
ReplyDeleteI love your photographs and wish you could have them made into a book. It would bring peace and joy to all who looked through its pages.
