A Tree in the Tire Forest

In a picture taken on April 16, 2013, a tree grows among thousands of tons of used tires left in an abandoned ten-hectare recycling installation in Lachapelle-Auzac, France. The company recycling these used tires closed in 2004 after being placed in receivership. Nine years later, amid all this rubbery rubbish, life still finds a way.
