The quest for a perfect photo to share online - many have valiantly embarked on that journey. But the destruction of an iconic natural landmark, popular with selfie-takers, has led some to question if its social media fame might have made it a target for the vandals.
Oregon's Cape Kiwanda State Natural Area is particularly striking part of the scenic US Pacific Northwest. And teetering over the edge of a cliff facing the Oregon coast, a sandstone rock formation dubbed the "Duckbill" (as some say its profile resembles the beak, or "bill" of a duck), had attracted many an intrepid photographer over the years.
The rock, a narrow column topped by a huge pedestal, had stood on the cliff's edge for hundreds of years. Until last week.
