Just heard the sad news that the Azure Window on Gozo has collapsed.

This beautiful landmark was cut out of the limestone over the ages with the weather. I've actually gone under it in a one of the small boats that go out from the nearby Inland Sea, another great wonder on Gozo.

I haven't seen any of the photos yet but it will be a huge pile of rubble.

This brings to mind a few years back when I was out on a rocky old track in a friends Land Rover Discovery. Joe parked up by the roadside on what looked like solid rock.
The view out to the sea was beautiful and we were probably around a 150 ft above the sea. As we drove off I looked back to be horrified that we had parked up on a precipice. I dread to think what could have happened.
