A photograph of a massive strangler fig tree whose thick, buttressed roots and trunk wrap around and grow over the weathered grey sandstone walls and doorways of an ancient temple ruin.

A massive tree with thick, buttress-like roots and pale grey trunk grows directly through and over the crumbling sandstone structure, its roots wrapping the walls and spilling across the sandy ground. Doorways and window openings are dark and empty, and carved decorative panels remain on the left wall. Scattered fallen stones lie in the foreground on the earth. No people are visible, and no a person candidate appears in the scene.

Carved stone walls and towers, partly covered in moss and vegetation, surround the trunk.

Green canopy and bright sky fill the upper frame.
