Hi, Hawkar,
The roads and rocks look very white - is this a chalk or limestone region?
Cheers,
Frank

OK, the limestone areas in the UK are riddled with caves, caused by underground streams. Occasionally one will collapse, leaving a sinkhole. I guess this is the same.  This is the shaft caused by a roof collapse at Gaping Gill in Yorkshire England:  Cheers, Frank |

I took this photo from the location. As you see it is filled by water.  Regards, Hawkar |
