There is a court house somewhere in southern Indiana that has had a tree growing out of the tower roof for many years now. It isn't even abandoned, they just left it grow there. I remember being mystified as to how it was growing there without dirt. Here, the decay and degredation of the buildings have provided plenty of growing materials.

"A thousand horse and none to ride! -
With flowing tail, and flying mane,
Wide nostrils never stretched by pain,
Mouths bloodless to the bit or rein,
And feet that iron never shod,
And flanks unscarred by spur or rod,
A thousand horse, the wild, the free,
Like waves that follow o'er the sea,
Came thickly thundering on,...
~Lord Byron, XVII, Mazeppa, 1818"
