The best example I can think of ‘Trees & Buildings’ combined is at Angkor Wat in Cambodia.
Most of the temples have been cleaned up of overgrowth but a lesser temple has been left in ruins.
A Banyan tree enveloping a temple entrance at Angkor Wat.
In order to take a panorama shot with my camera I had to take one shot then line it up and take the next one and the next etc. Because of the time gap between shots I was able to wait until all the people had left that area of the temple before I took the next section.
The most photogenic overgrown temple had queues of people waiting their turn at being photographed among the Banyan tree roots.
My turn. We probably should have taken a shot of all the people waiting their turn; it might have been more interesting.
One last shot. The Banyan trees were actually quite destructive but I have to say this was my favourite temple on the whole Angkor Wat site.

WOW. I can’t even imagine. Love your photos. 😀
Iconic trees and buildings beautiful collection 🙂
Those photographs are incredible. What era are the temples?
It’s an entire city, started in the 11th century as Hindu temple grounds, and gradually changing into a Buddhist city at the end of the 12th century.
Thank you for sharing these photos for this challenge. It is amazing to see how much damage a tree can do to a building.
Love your collection! I had Angkor Wat in mind, but then I decided different.
