When trees attack
Trees are persistent beasts, if you give them enough time. Check out this collection of photos of trees (slowly) swallowing up everything in their path.

I just stumbled across a great collection of photos showing trees taking control of their surroundings and a few of humans making design and building concessions to our woody brethren.
This one is my favorite:
Imagine how bummed the bicyclist who locked his bike to this tree was when he came back to find it had swallowed it up:
I'm pretty sure this sign says, "Nature will eat you if you linger."
And this one wins the award for best adaptation of a rail-eating tree.
Swing over to Woondu.com to check out the whole collection.

Unlike humans who attack, rape and devastate, trees just grow where they are planted and adapt when the surrounding is taken over by man. They just continue to grow even when they are cut up, until man chops it down. We should learn from trees.

I think the person who originally used the word 'attack' knows that, but was approaching the photos metaphorically.

great photos shea. . . the last one looks like those gigantic wax lips latching onto the rail. . . weirdly hysterical. . .
