Ta Prohm
This giant cotton silk tree has tried to reclaim a portion of the ruins of the Ta Prohm Temple in Cambodia. This is quite a well known tourist site, and is especially popular after a portion of the Tomb Raider movie was shot here.
I hope you enjoy the effect I have created in the image.
PS I also have a portrait version of this image available as well if anyone is considering making a purchase. I prefer this crop, but please let me know if you want to look and I can upload it for you.
Cheers

Great shot, that must have been some place to visit. like the silveryness (if that’s a word) of the roots.

Isn’t that amazing!! Looks like a giant alien claw claiming the ruins, and about to lift them up out of their footings. I would just love to see this place in real life.
