[this is amazing]

Ta Prohm, tree power
"The temple is held in a stranglehold of trees. Stone and wood clasp each
other in grim hostility;
yet all is silent and still, without any visible movement to indicate their
struggle — as if they were
wrestlers suddenly petrified, struck motionless in the middle of a fight. The
rounds in this battle
were not measured by minutes, but by centuries."
Angkor, Cambodia
