Finding Roots

I was in my Literature Class tonight, challenging the professor's answer to a quiz. Probably shouldn't do that if I want to pass.
After class I was trying to snap a picture of the elderly janator hurling bags of trash over the railing and watching them plunge to the grass below. I never got a good picture of that, but in the process, I saw this giant ficus tree below with a mass of surface roots. Pretty gnarly looking.

I could probably ramble on philosophically about how I am back in college searching for my roots and climbing the educational tree of my future...but I won't...your welcome.
