This was Spring along the sidewalk in the Garden of Surprises - 2016 -
It has changed - not just the seasons, but the ground under the bricks -
Gave way to a hopefully small hole -
Sidewalk (2 sections - 1 that meets the bricks - and one that joins it - )
Are no more -
Ever heard a concrete saw ?
Then a sledge hammer ?
Thomas, our Neighborhood Feline, was nowhere to be seen -
Not one bird was seen or heard from during the demolition -
1 note on Right - starting with when the damaged was seen -
Through to today when 2 sections of the sidewalk turned into chunks of concrete -
Those chunks are in the hole - temporarily, so nobody walks into it -
Oh, the joys of home ownership !
Update : 1 note added to left side -- the repairs were more extensive than originally thought. The sinkhole was 10 feet wide x 4 feet deep.
It has been fixed !
Our sloping yard will drain properly ..
With the drain (small green rectangle in straw ) which diverts water into underground pipes ..
Then on to the City Storm Drain..

Peggy C club has replied to Pam J clubPeggy C club has replied to ClintPeggy C club has replied to micritterPeggy C club has replied to Dick MIt would be hard to leave a hole in the ground for 'character building' -- can just see someone coming through the yard to deliver a package .. and wham ... into a hole ! Not good ..

... internet photosharing sites all seem to be caught in cyber-sinkhole ...
... I also will hang with Ipernity until the end; if only they could conceive of a cheap way to just limp along maintaining the status quo (or a little less, even) and no wish-list/enhancements ...

Peggy C club has replied to L. L. Wall clubHope your weather is being kind and at least providing photos to share.
Peggy in North Carolina
Where I lived in Cornwall was the town of St Day, known locally as 'Sinking City'. There were so many unrecorded mine shafts from the past 700 years and all over the place that they would open up at any time and whole gardens would disappear! Fortunately no homes have been lost in this way ...YET!!
My parents still live there and we got a full structural survey done. There is a horizontal mine shaft below their house but it is 50 feet down and there is solid granite between so is quite safe.
But your interesting shot, PiPs and info struck a chord with me!
Best wishes for The New Year and for ipernity's future (I did ask Santa very very nicely if we could keep it!).

Peggy C club has replied to Andy Rodker clubIn Florida, along fault lines, it wasn't unusual for a sinkhole to open .. and yes, if near a home - it was usually done for.
Do remember one year that a hole opened in the road going around a large lake. Everybody in town brought things to put in it and fill that hole -- we didn't want the lake to drain.
Best wishes to you for the New Year also and for good news about Ipernity ( I also bent Santa's ear a little. )
Peggy
Happy New Year!!!
