UPDATE 02 May 2013: This is getting a lot of hits recently. Which is very cool!
I would like to know where all this attention is coming from, so if you would help satisfy my curiosity,

please add a comment with a link to where you found this :-)

And if you like this, tell me why... I'm not sure I get it!

Thanks :-)

I don't know what to say about this really.
Any suggestions for a cool description will be highly appreciated.

Update: the best suggestion so far is "Giraffed Waterfall".
Which is an obscure reference to this

I honestly don't know where all the water is coming from, it looks like it's coming straigth out of the sky.
I know where it's going, though. Straight into Lysefjorden in Rogaland, Norway. And from there into the North Sea.

From Wikipedia:
Preikestolen or Prekestolen, also known by the English translations of Preacher's Pulpit or Pulpit Rock, and by the old local name Hyvlatonnå (“the carpenter-plane’s blade”), is a massive cliff 604 metres (1982 feet) above Lysefjorden, opposite the Kjerag plateau, in Forsand, Ryfylke, Norway. The top of the cliff is approximately 25 by 25 metres (82 by 82 feet) square, almost flat, and is a famous tourist attraction in Norway.

I got up early that morning, hoping to get there before the crowds.
Some people were there before me though, they appeared to have spent the night there.
I'll try that next time, I bet the light is good at sunset.

I'm getting some peculiar flares from my Sigma 12-24, I've decided I like them.

That rock there served me well as seat and table for my packed lunch, overlooking the Stryn valley and Nordfjord with Olden at a distance.
