From last year’s re-visit to one of the astonishing “Strangler Figs” at Ta Prohm temple, near Angkor Wat in Cambodia. There’s something both spooky and frightful, yet also reassuring and comforting when nature reclaims manmade structures like this tree has.

I want to believe that everyone who has dedicated the current climate change debacle a thought or two, has felt similar sentiments. That no matter how hard we try, and boy have we tried harder than any other species on Earth, our planet will eventually loosen the stranglehold we’ve inflicted on it and evolve just fine without us.
