EDITORS COMMENTS
Talk about a 'rock and roll' parking spot! This print captures the aftermath of an epic landslip in the charming coastal town of Looe, Cornwall. In October 2008, nature decided to play a game of giant Jenga with this unfortunate van, leaving it completely crushed under a mountain of debris. It's like witnessing a real-life action movie scene where gravity takes center stage. The once picturesque Quay Road now resembles a chaotic playground for Mother Nature's mischievous side. Who needs special effects when you have erosion and landslides? This image perfectly encapsulates the power and unpredictability of our natural world. It serves as a reminder that even in idyllic coastal towns like Looe, danger can lurk around every corner – or rather, every eroded slope. The Cornish coast is known for its stunning beauty, but this photograph highlights the darker side of living on the edge. While we may admire the resilience of these towns against maritime forces year after year, sometimes they take their toll on vehicles unlucky enough to be caught in their path. So next time you park your car near a cliffside road in Cornwall, remember: it might just end up being an unintentional part of an extreme makeover project by Mother Nature herself!
