How much longer!

By mike9005
Thanks to everyone for all your C&Vs for yesterday.
Another capture of the Seven Sisters with homes at Birling Gap was thrown in to demonstrate that over the years they have also had to be re-adjusted to accommodate the retreating cliff-face.

Excellent viewpoint / composition and good to see that you were standing back from the cliff edge

I believe some of those properties were intentionally knocked down to prevent all the rubble falling onto the beach below.

Yes, and I fear it won't be long before they have to do the same again.

And what will the National Trust do about their cafe / visitor centre shop ?

Powerful photography Mike and you do feel for those people who have had to move and lost their homes.

Nice image of the white cliffs, but must be a worry for those with houses near the edge. Nature can be cruel at times!

'Change and decay in all around I see.' A poignant image and a reminder that so much is transitory.

Great capture Mike. It’s worrying how much of our coastal land is being eroded.
