Wonderful shot! The power of nature coming back to take its' own. And I personally love ferns, immensely old plants growing in an old building is just stunning. Good job Motts!

Totally amazing!

I wonder if someone who worked there or perhaps even laid the floor down for the first time thought, " you know I bet furns will be growing here 75 years from now."

We had a coat factory here that closed about 1960. By the mid 90's when it was torn down, it had trees growing in it.(swamp sumacs) I explored some of the ground floor in the 80's but didn't venture past the part where the roof caved in.

It's now a vacent lot. I've seen kids playing ball on it. Too young to know what was once there.

Theres a building on the grounds that has a huge tree growing from the floor right up through where the roof used to be. Its the one set apart from the main facility up on a small hill. It really blows these pics out of the water.

For some unknown reason of which I really do not know why;

I have this undying HATRED for all ferns !!!

I have never had any ferns in any of my gardens in the past or present and I will never have any ferns in any of my gardens in the future. To me, ferns are some sort of throw - back plant to pre - historic times.

Ferns and moss and a shrub, or a small birch? - Nature overcomes all! It is green and grows. Lushly. Amazing. You are a very brave man, Mr. Motts! Be well and stay in ...................
