@Doug: thanks, doug! much appreciated! i'll let him know tonight when we go out for dinner !!!

Doug from Burnham-on-Sea, United Kingdom

By the way I'm still intrigued by the "Bottle" !

1 Aug 2013 8:55am

@Doug: well, here is the "secret" revealed! there are several smaller waterfalls in geiranger fjord, called the "seven (?) sisters", and one bigger waterfall - this is their suitor! but he was a drunkard, and the girls refused him. they knew he was into the bottle because there is the shape of the bottle at the foot of "his" falls. if you look closely and have a certain degree of fantasy, you will recognise the shape of a bottle ... ;-)))
