Trees are amazing but we usually only see them from the trunk up. The roots are often where the real action is. Especially when they emerge to the surface clinging and grabbing!
Your assignment in this contest is to show me some Ridiculous Roots!
Here's a Sample Photo That I Took On a Hike Last Week!
I Love the way these Ridiculous Roots are reaching out to devour the surrounding landscape!
Here Are The Rules:
● Show me a photo of some Ridiculous Roots!
● Post your photos in the comment section below

● There will be at least 5 prizes of 1 Steem

Jardin Botanico, Tenerife. A fascinating place to visit, a place that at each turn you are stunned by the amazing collection of tropical and subtropical plants.
Thanks for the photos!
Here is my entry. Nature will always find a way. Spotted these roots growing through the wall while I was out walking. Location: Derbyshire, UK.
That's an awesome example!!!
It's a bit creepy ....
That is really cool.
Thanks.
Oooooh...another entry from Derbyshire! Big it up for us heart of England girls 👊😄😍 Awesome shot, @ellenripley x
Ha ha thank you!
Great theme! Here is my entry. These roots can be found in the cenote Ik Kil on Mexico´s Yucatan Peninsula. It´s such an extraordinary place...
Very ridiculous!
Remnants of dead roots. (This tree fell in a storm a lot of years ago.) My first contribution.

Very artistic!
Check this web of Banyan tree roots reaching out every where like Halloween arms ready to grab you no matter what direction your going to run and even has a bonus waiting for you a huge monitor lizard in the web so when you trip over and fall the Banyan tree roots will get a hold of you and the monitor lizard will move in like spider and swallow you up so beware don't walk into that trap :((

Still trying to figure out what's happening there!
entry #1
to me this looks like the trees are digging out their roots
and gonna rush somewhere -- very funny game of imagination...
entry #2 was shoot at the same time and place as #1.
(it is a medium-sized pond in the local park)
last summer its water level became too low, so we could watch the parts of the trees that are often hidden under the water. hope you like these, imo it is rather unusual sight, thats why I clicked the shutter dozen times when I noticed it.
Very interesting!
Here is my Entry. The massive roots of a giant fig tree.

https://steemit.com/contest/@bigsambucca/the-ridiculous-twisited-up-banyan-tree-roots
This is messed up internet circuit board and spooky at that. The Halloween Banyan Trees of Thailand 😮 👀 😮
Entry No #2.
I really wanted to post these photos on appics but, after wasting the best part of an hour trying to do so, I gave up.
There doesn't seem to be anywhere to get help apart from Telegram which I don't use. Very, very frustrating.
There are some great shots here.
Here's my contribution.
I thought this one was interesting as all the soil has eroded and only chalk remains.
And I like this one as trunks look likes roots and roots like trunks. 😁
Nice contest soon I join
We are waiting.
