Darwin's Arch, a famed rock formation in the Galapagos, collapses

[Judi Lynn]

1. Darwin's Fallen Arch can be known as "Darwin's Pillars."

In Japan, a pair of large stones has been named "The Wedded Stones" and their rice straw rope is replaced 3 times a year due to wind, water erosion, representing the bond as perpetual.



I noticed the Darwin Arch columns appeared, after the collapse, each one more upright and balanced than they were trying to support the arch! The collapse almost looks planned, creating an entirely different vibe after the break.

If it was going to go, looks as if it did it in a good way, and the invisable rocks stay right there, with their friends in the water.

Here are some photos of the sea critters from the water at Darwin's Pillars:
