Walking through downtown I couldn't help but notice sections of the city where nature would begin to reclaim its territory. A small shoot creeping out of cracks in the sidewalk, vines racing their way up light poles or droves of grass and weeds toppling over chain linked fences, these were all small battles taking place in the middle of the city. I kept thinking about how the city as a whole continues to grow and destroy in order to sustain itself and how similar this is to every other little "societies" in nature. Of course we work at a much larger scale but in hindsight we infest the landscape and destroy all in the way to make room for ourselves the same way termites will infect a home or mold will infect your loaf of bread. It is just the way things are, it's nature's little game that we have to participate in in order to survive.
