Nature wins in the Long Run

            Ficus trees envelope a temple complex outside Siem Riep, Cambodia.

The fig trees that envelope temples around Siem Reap, particularly in the Angkor Archaeological Park, are predominantly species of the genus Ficus, known for their sprawling growth and aerial roots. These fig trees, often referred to as strangler figs, establish themselves atop temple walls or in crevices of the stone structures. Over time, their roots cascade downward, gradually enveloping the temple's surfaces in a web-like embrace. The roots spread horizontally and vertically, forming intricate networks that intertwine with the architectural features of the temples. As they grow, the fig trees create a striking juxtaposition between the organic forms of nature and the ancient man-made structures, blending seamlessly to create an otherworldly ambiance.
