Still Waters Posted September 4, 2012 #1 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Mother nature can be unrelenting at the best of times - and these trees show how hungry she can be. The perennial woody plants have no mercy for man-made structures as they engulf them into their trunk. Eating road signs, grave headstones and iron railings they will stop at nothing to slowly swallow their prey. http://www.dailymail...llowing-up.html 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangit12 Posted September 4, 2012 #2 Share Posted September 4, 2012 well the bad news is trees have developed the talent to eat things and maybe even people well and the good news we could tame these trees and use them for military purposes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hasina Posted September 4, 2012 #3 Share Posted September 4, 2012 If we all disappeared tomorrow, it wouldn't take mother nature all that long to reclaim the lands we've developed. It's nice to know things carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galilei Posted September 4, 2012 #4 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I always found pictures of trees engulfing things to be bizarre and beautiful at the same time. Nature is a marvelous artist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mule Posted September 4, 2012 #6 Share Posted September 4, 2012 rest assured that if I chained my dog to a tree, it would never engulf his barking mouth *disclaimer - no animals were abused in this post. It is intended as humor* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timothy Posted September 5, 2012 #11 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Some of those photos are really good, I particularly like the one with the fence! My favorite is the one with the tree! Also, you would have to be pretty slow to get eaten by a tree... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashotep Posted September 6, 2012 #12 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I've seen trees around here that had grown around something, it is strange to look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
