Collapsed natural arch of Punta Ventana, Guayanilla, Puerto Rico
Collapsed natural arch of Punta Ventana, Guayanilla, Puerto RicoThe starting view is from January, 1970, a field photo of Punta Ventana (“Window Point”) at Guayanilla, Puerto Rico (Monroe, 1980). The image fades to the March 5, 2020 color photo of the same location (ten Brink, 2020). The natural arch had collapsed from earthquake shaking on January 6, 2020 during the 2020 Southwest Puerto Rico Earthquake Sequence.
