18 photos where nature has reclaimed its rights
Nature nurtures us, but it will immediately take over if an object or building is abandoned.
We use what nature provides to build homes, bridges, railroads... The list is pretty much endless. But when the day comes that these structures find themselves deserted, nature will slowly but surely take back possession of what belongs to it.
Here are 18 photos that remind us of the force of Mother Nature.
