People cross the unique living tree root bridge in Padang, Indonesia.
The living crossing has replaced a rickety bamboo contraption that was
constantly washed away by swollen rivers during the monsoon season,
cutting off two villages. A local man named Pakih Sohan decided to
intertwine tree roots over 26 years to form the sturdy walkway. Now the
villages of Pulut-pulut and Lubuak Glare on either bank of the Bayang
river are no longer cut off. The bridge is 30 metres long and one metre
wide - and has stood on the site for 100 years.
