The Old Dog Presents: The Ridiculous Root Contest! With Bonus APX Tokens!

in #contest4 years ago

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 

● The photo must be yours NOT one that you find on the internet. 

● Maximum of 2 entries per person 

● If you make a post promoting the contest I'll try and give it an upvote as well 

● There will be at least 5 prizes of 1 Steem 

● I will also reward a total of 10 APX tokens to those that post their photos on Appics!

 ● The contest closes in 7 days 


If you like contests and would like to see more of them here  on the Steem Blockchain please consider upvoting my posts. Contests   help our community so spread the word! Until next time,

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.

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...

Wow still fighting the flu! You mentioned on your Dec 31st video!! Get well soon and get to the root of the problem both with the illness and the contest!

LOVE this challenge, @kus-knee - I've been away on a Steemit-fast and I missed your comps! Here's my first entry back IN the saddle! 💖:

Lots of great pics already, here is mine from a Florida beach IMG_0828 (2).JPG

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 :((

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!

Sounds absolutely Rediculous @kus-knee !! But I might give it a try !! Best of luck to everyone, upped and resteemed to help spread the word!💯👍🌳🌲

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. 😁

We are waiting.
