We may think that modern technology is very powerful, but the reality is that whatever we manage to build and create is temporary and Mother Nature proves this to us at every opportunity. And it never hesitates to take over as soon as we turn our backs, showing us who is the real king of the castle.

We at Bright Side selected a few photos to show how incredibly strong and independent nature is and how it always finds a way.
