Happy Weekend, dear friends

Preikestolen is a steep cliff which rises 604 metres above the Lysefjorden. Atop the cliff, there is an almost flat top of approximately 25 by 25 metres.

The hike to Preikestolen from the closest car park is very steep and takes 2–3 hours. The path starts at an elevation of about 270 metres above sea level, and climbs to 604 metres. Though the vertical drop is only 334 metres, the total elevation gain and loss over the course of the hike is more than one might initially expect, as the path climbs and descends various ridges.

But the hard way is fully compensated by the breathtaking views ...

This picture is an attempt to find a non-trivial view of this one of the most famous places in Norway.

Usually it shows a plateau with people, someone on the edge of the cliff, or view separately. Here I tried to combine the mystique of rock and a view of the fjord ...

Прекестулен - крутая скала на высоте 604 м над Люсе-фьордом. На вершине скалы находится плоское плато размером примерно 25 на 25 м. Поход к вершине от автостоянки крутой и занимает 2-3 часа: начало пути лежит на высоте 270 м и завершается на высоте 604 м. Хотя перепад высот только 334 м, общий объем подъемов и спусков намного более ожидаемого поначалу, т.к. дорога петляет по гребням и утесам. Но сложность пути с лихвой компенсируется захватывающими видами ...

Этот снимок - попытка найти нетривиальный ракурс этого одного из самых известных мест в Норвегии. Обычно показывают плато с людьми, кого-то на краю обрыва или вид скалы отдельно. Здесь пытался совместить загадочность скалы и вид на фьорд ...

"ask one who tells stories

to take into account

the verisimilitude

it seems to me as ridiculous

like asking a figurative painter

to represent things exactly...."

This plant will close soon. I remember visiting it when it had a partial meltdown years ago. To say it's eerie, out in the night - is a bit of an understatement. You can hear the machinery softly whirring.

This sunset was gorgeous on its own, but the icicles on the sides reminded me of curtains reopening for an encore!

Watching the birdies from underneath the curtain...
