There's something about how those branches fit that really freaks me out. Almost like some variant of trypophobia.

I couldn't decide which was the less shitty pun out of "Tree-riffic!" and "Wood you look at that!", so I decided to leave this useless comment and move on with my life.

I don't know why, but there is something about this image that scares me.

stratamartin · 4 months

For some reason, this makes me feel quite ill.

luckyshell · 4 months

I feel the urge to pull the roots out.

onetimebsanders · 4 months

i've seen enough hentai to know where this is going

THE TREE HAS EVOLVED THE ABILITY TO CAMOUFLAGE INTO ITS ENVIRONMENT!

You see life, uhh, uhh, uh, finds, a way.

mustardjones · 4 months

For some reason this gives me the heeby-jeebys.

Google says this is a similar image: http://i.imgur.com/Wfalk.jpg

I think there's a lot to be said for that.

I'm not sure why everyone is creeped out by this. I get a feeling of life from this, a symbiotic link between the tree and the sidewalk.

That tree and that sidewalk are now living in harmony as they should.

DorkasaurusRex · 4 months

I find this both eerie and beautiful. Nature is amazing.

As it is with all life. We think the concrete lives in between us, but in reality we live in between the concrete.

"It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything." -Tyler Durden.

Edit: I'm shocked how many people here also saw this as a metaphor for life, forever united. I love reddit

Why does it do this? Easy. Water tends to settle into the cracks in the pattern. The tree roots grow into the pattern to seek the water.

Make pavement including a perfect circular paver.

The merge looks like this M.C. Escher picture

Is this TreePorn or SidewalkPorn?

SumDudeInNYC · 4 months

Concrete jungle.

eaglehas1 · 4 months

Where is this?

BronxLens · 4 months

Reminds me of an M.C. Escher drawing; and the movie Inception -perhaps i see the roots circumnavigation of the stones as a metaphor for the concept of a dream within a dream.

wingspantt · 4 months

It's very easy to imagine this tree's roots accessing your skin and slowly filling every vein in your body.

paulderev · 4 months

I'm almost sure this is in Inman Park or Candler Park in Atlanta, GA.

Holybasil · 4 months

Looks slightly parasitic. Kinda like zerg creep.

Cubeface · 4 months

What an excellent picture. Shows how nature has had to adapt to our creations. Nature doesn't give a fuck, ever.

SaikoGekido · 4 months

Instantly reminded me of The Enigma of Amigara Fault.

Is this at NC State?

HOLYFUCKINGSHIT!!! That. . . Is the coolest thing I've EVER seen.

If I saw this on mushrooms I'd be convinced I'd have figured out the meaning of life.

TwEE-N-Toast · 4 months

Amazing. The bricks shape the pattern the roots grow in, the roots are crushing the bricks bit by bit and the weight of pedestrian foot traffic keeps the roots nice and flat and wedged between the bricks.

This would make a great RTS game.

Bobsutan · 4 months

That's creepy

Antroh · 4 months

For some reason this grosses me out

flipflopopotamus · 4 months

the photographer must have been M.C. Escher

JamesGotALeg · 4 months

Nice. Thanks for reminding me why I subscribe to this subreddit. Cause it sure isn't to look at pics of people's dogs, dead relatives, or photobombs.

akronpunk41 · 4 months

Nature really doesn't give a fuck what you put in its way.

Klarthy · 4 months

If it fits, I splits.

pvguy · 4 months

I believe this is what happens when you choose the synthesis ending of mass effect 3.

moneymark21 · 4 months

Looks like Shepard opted for the green ending...

ddshroom · 4 months

Great. We please?

Autonomous91 · 4 months

super creepy question, but where was this taken? i swear to god i've seen it before and i just want the selfish confirmation.

a_Leaf · 4 months

12,809 downvotes. wtf Reddit?

iamriot · 4 months

Will someone with a better camera and some photo editing skills find out where this is recompose this picture. Awesome find OP.

cuppincayk · 4 months

This actually isn't too uncommon. If it can, the tree with try and find a natural route (lol gettit?) for the roots to go, but if it can't, it will force a way (like where the sidewalks get raised and such). Not really creepy, but very cool :)

GrantThePlant · 4 months

Nature violating the man made sidewalk. True nature porn.

I was really hoping this would be big enough to use for a wallpaper. DISAPPOINTED.

that's like me and my bed

ImNotAWhaleBiologist · 4 months

Any source? I might want to use this for something and I'd like to contact the person who took the picture. I couldn't find anything on tineye.com. Thanks!

OMG NATURE IS SO AMAZING IT ALWAYS FINDS A WAY TO LIVE DESPITE TOUGH CIRCUMSTANCES

TRULY A MIRACLE, SO AMAZING

CHECKMATE, ATHEISTS.

BoogsterSU2 · 4 months

That awkward moment when Fluttershy starts walking on sidewalks, while saying "I'd like to be a tree" many times.

ThinkinFlicka · 4 months

All I see is a companion cube
