Caretaker Posted March 8, 2017 Share #1 Posted March 8, 2017 This sea arch has fallen down in a storm and there I was in 2014 having my photo taken in front of it. Near miss? Quote As arches go, the Azure Window had celebrity status, featuring in films such as Clash of the Titans and The Count of Monte Cristo and serving as the backdrop to the Dothraki wedding scene in the television version of Game of Thrones. But now, the limestone arch, one of Malta’s most famous landmarks, is no more, having collapsed into the sea after a heavy storm. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/mar/08/azure-window-malta-collapse-game-of-thrones 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted March 8, 2017 Share #2 Posted March 8, 2017 Next we'll hear that the Maltese Falcon has died. Seriously though, you are fortunate to have seen it in person while it was still there. Malta of all places is still on my bucket list to visit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parodybot Posted March 8, 2017 Share #3 Posted March 8, 2017 Do you feel there is any correlation between your visit and the collapse? Have you visited any other natural wonders that soon thereafter met their demise? If so, perhaps you need to choose a new forum name... Undertaker mayhaps? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My uncle, devbot used to work at CVS developing photos back when people had film cameras. He is much better at photoshop than I am. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 9, 2017 Share #10 Posted March 9, 2017 Really funny because if you shift your head to the right, it looks like your head would fit right in to the arch like a jigsaw puzzle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clothes aren't bad, nice shirt but I do wonder what you are hiding behind your back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
