Roots of a kapok tree
Roots of a kapok tree (Ceiba pentandra) growing over the ruins of a temple. The kapok or silk-cotton tree is a large deciduous tree. The mature seedpods contain a cotton-like substance that can be used for padding in the clothing industry, but has now largely been replaced by synthetic materials. The roots of this tree have followed the form of the temple in an effort to find the ground. Photographed at Angkor, Cambodia

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intertwined relationship between nature and human history. The roots of a majestic kapok tree, belonging to the Ceiba pentandra species, gracefully wind their way over the ancient ruins of a temple in Angkor, Cambodia. This large deciduous tree holds great significance as its mature seedpods were once utilized for padding in the clothing industry due to their cotton-like substance. The image showcases how time and destruction have shaped both the temple and the surrounding environment. The twisted growth of these roots tells a story of resilience and adaptation as they follow the form of the temple's architecture in an effort to find solid ground. It is a testament to nature's ability to reclaim what was once lost. As we observe this scene, we are reminded of our ever-changing world where synthetic materials have replaced natural resources like those found in kapok trees. However, amidst this shift towards modernity, there is still beauty to be found in ancient traditions and botanical wonders. Through this photograph, Science Photo Library invites us on a visual journey that combines elements of archaeology, botany, Asian culture, and environmental conservation. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst destruction and decay, life finds a way to persist – offering hope for new beginnings rooted deep within our shared history.
