The Hole in Guatemala
Where: Guatemala City
Details: The hole was formed in 2010 after the city was ravaged by tropical storm Agatha
Tropical storms often have disastrous effects on the surrounding environment, and in Guatemala City, this is exactly what happened after a hurricane pelted through its borders back in 2010. This incredible drone footage shows that gaping hole it left in the city, quite literally, which left onlookers astonished. It goes to show that we’re never quite protected from a natural disaster, even if we think we’re living on a secure spot of land.
Plane Among the Trees
Photographer: Bruce Campbell
Where: Portland, Oregon
Taken by Bruce Campbell, this photograph originates from Portland in Oregon. It shows a plane that likely went down in the area a fair amount of years ago. The forest is growing right around it, and pretty soon the space will be fully covered by greenery. The plane was likely never moved or recovered, in a bid to preserve the local nature. It could also have been abandoned by its owner, and it’s likely that it has been stripped of all its important parts already.
