Disobedient Nature by Chachi, Erik Ogan

July 22nd, 2006 1:48 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Search for, find, document an example of nature refusing to yield to or blending itself into a construction of modern man.

Document with photos when possible.

Examples should document situations where man has put up some restraint for nature and nature has disobeyed. While trees or other permanent plants are preferable, a basic example would be plants that grow in the cracks of the sidewalk.

While we were taking photos of the sunset, I kept looking at the old Sutro Baths. And it suddenly dawned on me - this was a great example for "Disobedient Nature!"

Wikipedia gives a good background on the baths at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sutro_Baths.

It reminded me a lot of Roman and Greek ruins I have seen in Europe. Except, of course, for the fact that is only 110 years old.

there's something so calming about this.
i love that you caught the water splashing up through the pipe.
