Yes, that is a telephone pole underneath all of that. Makes you realize what a post apocalyptic America would look like - plants grow up through the concrete and break it apart, they attach themselves to your house (I have groundcover ivy that has sunk roots into the wood shingles as it climbs up to my porch), they can bury something as high as a telephone pole. Given enough time, if left undisturbed they could probably swallow a major city, weather pulling the concrete and steel down as the ground rises up to meet and overgrow the rubble.
Nature bats last.
