Civilization is on a constantly moving, constantly expanding uphill climb towards perceived greatness, using every tool in our repertoire and armed with knowledge and understanding. However, for all the incredible progress human beings have made, Mother Nature still reigns supreme. As she well should! Forests and wooded lands are often wiped out to make room for more houses, shopping complexes and major institutions.
Some architects even build structures around plant life. Strategic planning is required to bring these plans to fruition. Every once in awhile though, Nature will catch one of us straying from the plan, and strike slowly but sharply to gain her victory. Quietly as time passes, she takes back what is hers and lets the green grow once again, over what humanity has created, in the ultimate show of power. In these 20 funny yet poignantly beautiful pictures, it's easy to see that Mother Nature was the clear winner of these wars.
