Before man learned how to harness her resources with agriculture, Mother Nature used to be the master of this planet. It was she who determined whether or not we would have food, drinkable water, or even survive the winter.
These days, we have a lot more control over our own destinies, mostly thanks to technology. However, it’s still quite creepy to see how eager nature is to take back the land we stole from her. Here is what the planet might look like in a future without humans, where nature is once again Queen.

It’s crazy how deceptively quick nature can be when taking over a building. It’s funny to think that when humanity goes bust, there might not be any trace of us left.
