Living With Nature — An Impressive Video   3 comments

Indian state of Meghalaya — Image Source — MailOnline

People in the Indian state of Meghalaya have been growing (not building) bridges for more than 500 years by  guiding roots and vines from the native Ficus Elastica (rubber tree) across rivers. It may take ten to fifteen years to become fully functional. Amazing! Yet, it’s not so amazing when you value the relationship of people and nature.

I recently received this photo from my friend, Harris.

Took a drive to B’lore recently. We pass through some forests. Certain sections are fully bamboo trees. Since it is february, and the end of our non-existent winter, the trees have shed leaves and carpeted the ground. Just thought I’d share it with ye’all.  Harris
