Default Penzance Storm & Flooding.

The small van is actually sitting on and bolted to the other vehicle (yes,
it's a very small van!)
It's a mobile advert for a garage selling those vans in South Devon.

BTW, the picture was captured in Torquay.

some further details and a bizarre photo of a van sat on a range rover ?



Isn't that picture an optical illusion? The van would have to be minute,
the roof of whatever(?) incredibly strong, and the chances of landing
*exactly* in that position - by a *very* large wave which, uncannily,

does
not roll the lower vechicle on to its side - highly unlikely.

I think the van is well beyond the lower vechicle, standing in shallow
water.



Cheers,
