While Angkor Wat was well preserved due to its conversion from a Hindu temple into a Buddhist monastery, some temples were left for the jungle to devour. One wonderfully ruined temple is Ta Prohm, which was featured in
Tomb Raider. The temple is surrounded by dense jungle, and silk cotton trees have eaten some of the structures.
I like to imagine that this is what New York City will look like in a 1000 years, after the apocalypse (civil, environmental, whatever form you imagine it will take) comes. Can you imagine Trump Tower taken over like this?
Call me misanthropic, but I relish the thought!

ReplyDeleteSo what I've gathered from your Cambodia chronicles so far is that 1) You're eating copious amounts of sweets 2) The trees are inspiring you with malicious thoughts against NY. Sounds like you're having fun:) seeya soon!
ReplyDeleteNot just New York: I'm having malicious thoughts about humankind in general. The future, I hope, will be like "I Am Legend," except there will be no Will Smith character. There will be, in fact, no one left but the trees. And the birds. Ha ha ha ha ha.
