Dilapidated Purina Plant Overwhelmed by Kudzu

This dilapidated Purina Plant in Marion, Alabama, was long ago abandoned and left to be reclaimed by whatever or whomever would have it.

And as tends to the case in the Southeast, those viny tendrils began to slowly and inevitably creep in from the outlying woods. And once they had covered the grounds and reached the building, they began their trajectory upward in an undeterred effort to envelop that facility whole.

Perhaps that famed statement should more rightly have been: "Now, I am become Kudzu, the destroyer of worlds."
