More like Digg material.


Yep, nothing says India like weird plants.


At least the photos are credited


lol, did you mean reddit material ?


yeah - reddit.


Neat, but I suspect there are underwater worlds that look even more alien.


I was in Kapadokya (http://images.google.de/images?q=kapadokya) earlier this year. Very strange place, too.


How do you know what alien places look like as a point of reference for the claim that it's "most alien-looking".

To me this is one of the most evolutionary pretty places on Earth.


From the article:

"Dorstenia gigas - apparently does not require any soil and sinks roots straight into the bare rock"

It seems that this is some form of fig tree.


Really amazing pictures. Glad you put this up :)
