Miracle of Nature

This completely chopped down tree in a forest in rural Thane, has miraculously sprung to life again - despite a truant monsoon. It is simple things like this that reaffirm one's faith in the Miracle of Nature, which seeks to regenerate despite mans best efforts to destroy it.

 

The forests of rural Thane district, Maharashtra, India, are rapidly thinning due to chopping by local villagers and overgrazing. This year, the monsoons have not even set in properly. If the trend continues, there will not be any forest cover left in a few years time.
