Human has been trying to tame nature for millennia, and he’s even progressing in that. Yet Mother Nature still shows who’s the boss time after time. Trees demonstrate their power growing through asphalt and consuming objects next to them. Water grinds down remains of old buildings, turning them into smooth stones. And abandoned houses immediately get covered with wild vegetation. We’ve collected for you some photos of Mother Nature showing that she runs the show here and will always find her way.
