Tonnes of rubble and an old gun turret have come crashing down a cliff following a landslip near to an historic Isle of Wight fort.
Pictures show a significant landslide at the eastern end of Colwell Bay, near Brambles Chine.
Pete Gray encountered the cliff fall just before the 19th century Fort Albert, at Cliff End.
He said an old cannon turret at the top of the cliff has fallen to the beach below.

Following the fall, an underground building, next to the turret, is now visible in the cliff front.
Pete said an old wall has also succumbed to the fall, with concrete slabs among the rubble.
He said he suspects the landslip occurred last week.

Walkers are urged to take care near the cliffs, especially in this wet weather.
It is the latest in a series of landslips on the Island recently - the most significant being in Bonchurch last month (December).
It saw residents forced to evacuate their homes, a cafe left dangling on a cliff edge and a popular beauty spot lost.
