Disobedient Nature by mock piratey turtle, avidd opolis

May 30th, 2006 11:25 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 on the Long Walk we found trees, actual *trees* growing inside manholes.

Avidd: I added a second photo of a different tree.

Those are waaay crazy, and what's even crazier is that there is a seemingly innumerable amount of them in SF. I heard that back in the olden days people used to flush logs down toilets, and thats how these trees ended up there. Crazytalk, I say.

I felt kinda lame about this task cause I didn't notice the trees until they were pointed out, and I didn't even have my camera on me. So I re-did it with my own photo.
