A tree got into an extremely slow-motion fight with a fence. After a 70-year stalemate, the tree appears to be winning.

A blade of grass shoved its way up through a sidewalk. The sidewalk resisted, and then cracked open as the tenacious blade burst into the daylight.

A stained glass window melted in a Gothic cathedral. No one noticed for the first thousand years.

A stone statue wilted into the wind. A pyramid dissolved into the landscape.

As generations unfolded, a forest rioted for sunlight.

As civilizations rose and fell, oceans sculpted coastlines.

As species evolved and perished, canyons carved themselves into the desert.

A boulder traveled a million years, drifting past a mountain range on a neighboring tectonic plate.

A beach happened. A glacier unhappened.

Fossils exposed themselves in a flood gully.

A moon spun out of orbit and left home.

A galaxy spun like a windmill.

Meanwhile, the tree finally pinned the fence to the ground and won.
