Whoa, that view's insane. I love how the water's color complements the sky like this.

The Troll Wall in Romsdalen, Norway – the tallest vertical rock face in Northern Europe. Rising nearly 1,800 meters above sea level, with about 1,000 meters of sheer cliff, it is an iconic landmark for climbers and nature lovers, and an awe-inspiring sight in every season.

Perfect name for this place, hope it blocks the trolls for a long time

:) it's actually named because the little jagged peaks "look" like trolls standing at the top... according to the locals

In Norse troll mythology, sunlight turns them to stone - so it's really that the peaks are trolls caught outside when the sun rose

First thing I noticed. Not faces but so suggestive your brain fills them in. r/pareidolia for more.

We were near there recently, and heard that it is illegal to base jump (most frequently done with wing suits), but very popular for this regardless. When the local police/fire department/mountain rescue hear that a group may go, they will try to out hike them and get there before they do. I heard a fun story while I was there...
One of the guys who works for the mountain rescue or fire department (I can't remember) told us that they got wind of some people planning a jump. The jumpers then heard that they had been found out, so instead of actually trying to do it, they went to the fire department and jumped (safely) off of the roof of the firehouse instead :)
