#FotoVorschlag: Pflanzen, die an seltsamen Stellen wachsen // Plants growing in strange places

Vielleicht nicht der seltsamste Ort, aber nachdem ich diese Fußgängerbrücke jahrzehntelang nur als Fußgängerbrücke gekannt habe, war ich echt baff, wie krass sich #WilderWein ausbreiten kann, wenn man ihn nur lässt. Die Treppe ist komplett zugewachsen. Mit Herbstlaub ein total spektakulärer Anblick!

Maybe not the strangest place, but for decades, I knew this footbridge only as a footbridge. Seeing #BostonIvy reclaiming it so vigorously was mind-boggling – the steps are completely overgrown. And the autumn colours are absolutely spectacular!
