Temples taken over by the jungle:
3. In this picture of another structure in Ta Prom, it looks like the tree first destroyed the temple and then changed its mind by deciding to form a second temple entrance.
4. Here's a beautiful example of the power of a kapok tree in Angkor, Cambodia. Doesn't it look like a thin, white hand gripping the wall tightly?

6. Even this Buddha statue couldn't escape the Banyan tree's grip in Bangkok, Thailand. But being Buddha, he seems quite content with it.

7. Even in Mexico, the Mayan ruins in Palenque have fared no better than the others: they are slowly being eaten up by the greedy jungle.

8. Even vehicles are not safe from the clutches of the jungle - this jeep looks like it's been there a while. Notice how one tree root has grown around it.

9. This plane, too, has seen better days. It is now a rotting attraction in the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary in Belize.

10. What looks like the skeleton of a truck was actually once a plane too. What we can see here are the tail, elevators, rudder and the tail gunner of a plane used in World War II and crashed in Guam.
Houses in the jungle: 12. Okay, this is technically not a jungle though residents of Georgia, USA might know better but here, a creeper called kudzu has taken over so completely that one can barely make out wthat the vegetation is covering (it was a house).

13. This stone house in Cairns, Australia is still maintained by someone (notice the flower pots in the front) but don't be fooled, the rainforest is approaching fast!

15. This structure in Argentinia could have been a house. Don't the tree roots look like stick figures climbing up? Framed by these blue flowers, it looks more like art than a building now.

16. Here's a house in the city centre of Bissau, Guinea-Bissau. Are the roots trying to imitate the balcony design?

17. This house is not strictly in the jungle (more likely somewhere in Canada) but it just looks to picturesque. Must be good insulation, too.

18. This church ruin can be found on Ross Island, part of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The tree has taken over the church tower but also created a new roof.
