The Azure Window is disintegrating

The arch is in a dangerous condition because large pieces of rock keep falling from the arch of the Azure window it is estimated that the arch will disappear in a few years. 

Warning notices are placed to stop people walking over the top of the arch.

Now is the time to take your photographs of this landmark rock formation before the Azure Window is renamed the azure pinnacle.
