Nature fighting back
It has always amazed me how nature has the ability to grow back no matter how much we destroy and rape her resources. Everywhere we look we see brand new buildings being created where before nature was in command. But what happens when nature takes over, fights back, and reclaims the land we took from her. It seems that no matter how long it has been, nature will always win in the end.

Observing this should be a great sign that nature is always in charge, that being the dominant species should not involve conquering all, but understanding all and working alongside nature to help preserve what is left.
it is certainly impressive at natures ability to reclaim rapidly. where humans may take decades to claim a bit of land for themselves (such as the palm islands in Dubai) nature can achieve equally astounding results in a matter of months.
even more impressive is natures ability to adapt to situations that even humans cannot adapt to. Namely Pripyat, the old nuclear workers town for the Chernobyl nuclear plant. this area still has too higher radiation level to be hospitable for human life. plants have completely taken over and well into the process over reclaiming the city.
