Thats wicked Ken thanks for sharing.

You might be interested in a series that was on called 'Life after people'. It shows nature reclamation of man made structures if we were all to fall off the face of the earth. Great series, particularly 100+ years down the track when whole cities have been covered with moss, epiphytes, and strangler roots.
