We humans consider ourselves masters of the planet, adapting it to our needs. We cut down forests, build roads, erect cities. However, our presence here is only a moment in the life of the planet. Over time, the earth will hide our traces: buildings will collapse, trees will break through concrete, and rusty cars will become part of the landscape. These stunning photographs demonstrate the silent but inexorable power of nature, which is reclaiming what was always hers.
