Disobedient Nature by Sombrero Guy

April 4th, 2008 11:49 AM / Location: 50.718216,-1.880436

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.

Near Bournemouth town centre there is an overgrown mini golf course. I don't know how long it has been deserted, but it must be a pretty long time for it to have got into the state it's in. The photos and videos in this praxis show how plants have grown on the surface of the course, and how some holes have become almost comletely hidden. The plants in this area have broken through the bariers of mini golf holes set by humans and have over-run the area. They are, therefore, disobedient.
This is also another example of Bournemouth Council's unmatched dedication to the upkeep of attractions and services in the town.

I like the gates to this course. I want to take them home, but I don't know who owns the place:

The plants've got their act together here, they've pretty much taken the course back, even the gates!

Vote.

I have now rotated the photos that were the wrong way round.

Nice. You should try playing a game if you go out there again.

It is tempting. I think I even have my own putter somewhere...
