This particular scene struck me because there is a designated EPA superfund site (a site that is extremely polluted and toxic) nearby, and the fact that nature was able to overcome and still survive in that kind of environment really reflected how powerful nature is to me. To me, this image was indicative of a larger theme of nature being able to overcome all sorts of obstacles such as oil spills or global warming despite the odds. Moreover, for these trees to be able to survive and grow over a long period of time where a human would get sick otherwise also reflects the fragility of humans.
