Photo Challenge: Nature Conquers Man
Posted by Kit Richert — 24 Jun 2009
This photo challenge theme, Nature Conquers Man, was suggested to us by JPG member Benny R@mirez. Benny articulated the idea beautifully. "From a sidewalk slab split in two by the slow growth of tree roots to a crumbling building covered in vines, slowly being eaten alive from within. [Lets take] shots depicting Nature triumphing over mankind’s mess."
We loved this idea. There is immense beauty in the natural processes of decomposition, sun damage, weathering, and the breaking through of vegetation into man's creations. We decided to expand this concept even further. Nature Conquers Man everyday, in so many ways. The surfer falling, the city flooding, pale skin burning in the summer heat. We love giving you guys freedom to think and interpret.
Show us your best photograph that shows nature interfering with man and his creations. (Note: photos should show both elements of man and nature)
