An old middleage church, Maarup Kirke (Denmark), is nearly falling down into the sea. Built originally about 2 km from the coast back in the 14th century – now there is only 6 m. to the very steep coast slope.
Most of the church has been dismantled and moved somewhere else for preservation.
In a few years the cemetery will have totally disappeared as the North Sea eats meter by meter each time a storm comes from the west…
No offense intended.

A very moody shot that works well in B+W, it’s an interesting pov shooting through the window. A great capture as always U xx
Its just like a scene from the start of a movie….superb shot Ulla : ))
This is the same thing that’s happening to the A1A… that amazing stretch of highway that goes down the eastern coast of Florida all the way to Key West. Erosion is threatening to wash some of the sections with the most breathtaking views (and the tackiest Floridian landmarks) into the sea.
Time marches on… and we’re often helpless to stop the process. I think it’s cool they’re moving most of the church. These are caring people that should be an inspiration to us all.
Thanks for sharing :-)
love !
