To look at this one of Norway's most famous waterfalls at the top cliff point, you have to drive on the old road, making 125 sharp turns.

And sleeves of the waterfall twisting down through the rocks on the background of swirling mists above the gorges of the Mabodalen ridge.

Там, где петляют водопады

Чтобы взглянуть на этот один из самых знаменитых водопадов Норвегии с верхней точки у обрыва, надо проехать по старой дороге, делающей 125 крутых поворотов.

Да и рукава водопада петляют по крутым скальным склонам на фоне клубящихся туманов над ущельями горного массива Мобедален.

I will have a little break in my holiday photos from Poland, I thought I heard someone yawning back there!

So I rather post a contribution in the ongoing discuss of dog versus cat. When was the last time you saw a cat in such beautiful surroundings smiling this honest and friendly? Never? I thought so.

I have to appologize for the quality of the photo. I still struggle to handle the Canon camera, dumb farmer you know. So I tend to compensate the editing in Picasa 3. Yeah, again dumb farmer attitude.

There are some more photos in the first comment.
