Window into Heaven


This scene struck me as I walked below with my family on a walk. The white square in the clouds is not  fake or a doctored image, but an actual phenomenon in the British countryside. From the ground directly below the square, light shone through, and it appeared as if it were a window straight into heaven. 

Fading Peril


The dangerous precipice pictured here is caused by erosion from the sea below. The cliffs here, at Slapton, Devon, England, once had homes built on them which eventually crumbled into the water, most famously in 1917 when an entire fishing village slipped into the sea. Erosion continues to cause problems around Start Point.
