I'm getting closer to the Preikestolen.
Preikestolen or Prekestolen, also known by the English translations of Preacher's Pulpit or Pulpit Rock, is a famous tourist attraction in Forsand, Ryfylke, Norway. It consists of a steep cliff which rises 604 metres (1982 feet) above Lysefjorden, opposite the Kjerag plateau, with an almost flat top of approximately 25 by 25 metres (82 by 82 feet).
The old local name of the site is Hyvlatonnå (English: Planned Tooth). The name Prekestolen (without the i) was coined around the year 1900 when the local tourist organisation, Stavanger Turistforening wanted to promote the site for trekking. The "i" was added later to concord with Nynorsk, the official local form of Norwegian, and the site is now known both locally and officially as "Preikestolen."
The cliff was formed during the ice age, approximately 10,000 years ago, when the edges of the glacier reached the cliff. The water from the glacier froze in the crevices of the mountain and eventually broke off large, angular blocks, which were later carried away with the glacier. This is the cause of the angular shape of the plateau. Along the plateau itself there continues to be a deep crack. Due to these cracks, the plateau will at some point fall down, but all the geological investigations have revealed that this will not happen in the foreseeable future, and geologists have confirmed the safety of the plateau.

These square-cabbed Mack trucks are now mainly seen in "municipal" applications in the US.
More detail from the City of London Information Centre beside St Paul's Cathedral where the building's "triangular plan has evolved from a consideration of the principal movement of pedestrians around the site, while the orientation and profile of the building establish an intriguing dialogue with St Paul’s."
Even worse, "a folded metallic envelope wraps 140m2 of internal accommodation... this solution minimises the thickness of the structural envelope" while "the panelisation of each elevation emphasises the crisp angularity of the folded form."
And there was me thinking it was just a kiosk for tourists.
This image covers an impact crater on the northeast rim of Hellas basin, with excellent exposures of bedrock layers.
Here we see a portion of the steep inner slope where some of the bedrock has broken into angular pieces and slide partway down the slope.

I try something different with regard to the angle.
I hope you like the shot and the car (which is one of my favourite cars).
I would be glad to see some comments!
Still going through older stuff. Tend to sit on things for a few weeks, maybe longer. This one from last September, I think. Too lazy to check :-)
Still, letting them stew for a bit helps. Looking back this one went from a first impression of 'meh!' to what I think was the best of the series I took on the day. In the end it was the 'to let' advert sneaking in at the bottom that I wanted in there. The trappings of wealth, just like the building itself, often just an illusion.
More from Paddington Basin, this time an abstract shot of the very edge of one of the contemporary buildings.
What's that in the sky? Although there was much to see in this spectacular panorama taken during the early morning hours of a day in late September, the brightest object in the sky was clearly the planet Venus. In the featured image, Venus was captured actually through a natural rock bridge, itself picturesque, in Spitzkoppe, Namibia. The planet, on the left of the opening, was complemented by a silhouette of the astrophotographer on the right. Above and beyond the rock bridge were many famous icons of a dark night sky, including, from left to right, the Pleiades star cluster, the Orion Nebula, the bright star Sirius, and the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. This week, Venus remains visible to the east in the pre-dawn sky, being complemented by Mars, which is angularly quite close. via NASA ift.tt/1MvlQQN
