5. Nature always finds a way

despite humanity's best attempts to fuck it up.

Have you seen the photographs from around Chernobyl?

6. Nature does!

No I haven't seen the Chernobyl photos...........do you have a link?

7. Just Google for "photos of Chernobyl today."

The trees and grass are the only things alive. Fun to watch ivy creeping up one side of a Ferris wheel.

But what beautiful condition it seems to be in.
