This sight greeted my eyes in Olhos de Agua, Portugal, in October, 2015....
My favourite beach view bench was almost no more. The wind and rain had taken its toll on the cliff sending huge chunks of sandy rumble tumbling to the ground, closely followed by a few fence panels..... This is how it used to look....
Here is the end of the bench you can see in the top picture. I was lying on it on December 31, 2014, sunning myself in the gentle winter heat. I used to love climbing up here to take in the glorious views and catch a few rays of winter sunshine.... This is what I could see either side...
This is another shot of the collapse....
The Algarve suffered some terrible floods and rain in the autumn and this photo was taken BEFORE the worst of the weather. I felt so sad when I saw this. A reminder of nature's might.
But I'll find another perfect vantage point, just you wait and see....
