Strangler Fig I

Ta Prohm, Cambodia

Lots of these fig trees were seen at the ruins - exactly what the name represents. They practically `strangled' the buildings to death, suffocating them with their huge roots. The question now lies as to whether to save the trees or the building? The roots of the trees penetrates through the stones causing them to fall apart and ruined!

It looks like a monster climbed onto the root to see the outside world. A lovely picture.
