Deep in the rainforests of the Indian state of Meghalaya, bridges are not built, they’re grown. For more than 500 years locals have guided roots and vines from the native Ficus Elastica (rubber tree) across rivers, using hollowed out trees to create root guidance systems. When the roots and vines reach the opposite bank they are allowed to take root. Some of the bridges are over 100 feet long and can support the weight of 50 people.

#complain about all of the changes you want about this show#but holy fuck #the best thing they ever did was take this suggested relationship between two men #and turn it into an epic believable beautiful love story #and took these two characters who didn’t get much development #and turned them into heroes in their own right #and lovers in their own right #the emotions i got seeing loras coming into the castle eclipse anything #i felt for him in the books #ANYTHING #i can’t even #the love between them was so pure..so absolutely just beautiful #the one true functional romance of the westeros
