Disobedient Nature by Yoshi, Zoo Monster

May 7th, 2006 5:15 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.

These photos were taken at Jewish Graceland, an abandoned cemetery in Chicago (where I have been spending my lunch break).

Graceland proper is at the corner of Clark and Irving Park.
Jewish Graceland (which is actually called Hebrew Benevolent Society Cemetery) is just south of that intersection on Clark.

Although Mies Van der Rohe is buried at Graceland, that cemetery is like a park, while its Jewish counterpart is like a jungle (complete with strange long haired squirrel).
I highly recommend a visit.
