The StarTribune reports that the old arch along the Shovel Point Trail has fallen at Tettegouche State Park. They have a photo up from the DNR of the new “sea stack”:

And here’s a photo I took in 2002 with my old Olympus two mega-pixel camera, not realizing I was seeing the end days of a thousands-years-old formation:
Before the collapse. Bigger: 1600 x 1200
I would hope that the DNR photo, being a government agency and supported by my tax dollars, is in the public domain and free. My photo is most certainly freely shared with the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.

Wow, and these two pics were just taken last month. Glad I got them. I always wanted sunrise pics of the place.
