Artist Kane Cunningham bought this house for a few thousand bucks in order to document it falling off a cliff into the sea, which, according to him, can be at any moment. It is the next house in a series of houses meeting their demise in Scarborough, North Yorkshire. “It’s global recession and global warming encapsulated.” Mr. Cunningham invites letters to be sent to this address (20 Knipe Point), which will eventually cease to exist. Here’s the BBC story.

how strange, we passed the sign for Cayton Bay on our way to the beach just the other day and talked about the houses being claimed by nature… it’s a sad story, but what an interesting way to document its end.
Couldn’t the house be moved to a safer locale?
Global Warming? You mean soil erosion didn’t occur before man started burning fossil fuels? And here I thought that some of the worlds great gorges and canyons were the work of water, when in reality they were caused by me driving to the Quik-E-Mart!
