Tree-mendous!

NOTICE anything strange about this rear view of Herrenalb's Cistercian ruins?
Don't worry about the timber-framed building on the left - concentrate on the doorway in the ruins
In this close-up a pine tree can be seen growing out of the arch above the entrance
The tree started growing about 200 years ago, with its roots forcing their way down through the wall to take nutrients from the underlying soil.
