Ruins and trees

The ruins are of an ancient construction. Trees are of a kind that shed their leaves. Their branches look dry, but in time, they will turn green again. Meanwhile, the ruins were still ruins. It is not known exactly what kind of ruins of the building it was, but it is clear that it is a heritage from a very long time, and certainly, long before the trees grew there. The trees grew after the ancient construction was abandoned, and now only those trees enliven the situation there, and give a different impression when they turn green and when they shed their leaves. How unique life is!

This is a part of a complex of historical sites called Indrapatra in Aceh, Sumatra.

Humans leave a path of destruction throughout history, remnants of bygone days, trees will grow, eventually nature takes back what once was.

Lovely photography showing the trees doing what they do best, reclaiming land @keuudeip, historical sites a reminder of what happened in a region.

Thank you for your kind and thoughtful reflections for the photos that show a traces of people in the past, and nature that ultimately fixes things.🙂

Nature always wins, many temples, palaces and historical sites being taken back by nature.

From what has always been witnessed, I must say, I agree with you!😁

Really interesting juxtaposition of trees and ruins. I'd be interested to see what it looks like in colour when the trees are in full bloom.

Thank you very much! Maybe one day in the future I can take pictures when the trees turn green with their dense leaves. So, stay close to me! (Just kidding..😄)
