You really don't want to fall from there [hint][solution]

NOTES: This is a blue spot, works only on GM. For the solution I need a shot from that same spot, to prevent spoilers. This blue spot has also a historical imagery, anyone of them works fine. If you have completely no idea of what this place is, it will be clear with the hints.

There is no Historical Imagery In Google Maps, Just Google Earth.

You Sir, are wrong:

You you are right!, I found it 

nice place, ndrqu, though not the best picture of it ...but i know why

Congratulations to Krenek who found this without hint. This was very hard, I admit. Here the first clue:

This is a very famous place, probably one of the most photographed natural feature in the entire world. In summer, there are more then 500 visitors per day. However, it is almost never photographed from this angle 

I found the legs (belonging to the hand from the other challenge??)

Guys what if we just found a spatiotemporal portal?

Ok, let's go for some real hints now

If you solve this rebus, you have the name of the place

I went to that place before and saw no blue dots...

What I can suggest is to use Maps and don't turn on the satellite mode, use the map mode, and zoom A LOT.

There are 4 blue dots in the area. Also, the place is not too close to the fjord, check up to 1 km inside the land to make sure you don't miss it

OK, I went back and gave it one more shot. This is quite clever: the blue spot is among blue spots that aren't blue spots.

So actually they are placed very badly, aren't they.

It's hard to tell because I can't see exactly where this spot is in satellite view. But the dots show images that are not consistent with their reciprocal position, so they are placed badly, just I don't know how much badly.

I did all that and have been trying for 10 long minutes. I can't find it. Two or three blue dots appear (after 15 or 30 seconds, sometimes more) and I tried them all. Not the right ones.


Then again, I found the place in the "What shall we order darling" puzzle (I pm'd hhgygy about it) and there is not blue dot where there should be one. I'm beginning to think that it's also missing in ozlingula's "just in time for tea" puzzle that I could never solve (that could be different though, it's the airport I couldn't find, when oz said it was there). I think I will stay away from the blue dot puzzles in the future. I will have plenty of time with the other puzzles anyhow, seeing how long I take to solve them if I ever do!

ozlingula's time for tea is SV tiny lines. Anyway yea I know blue dots are hard to catch but you can reach many places in the world thanks to them. Just post one view of the dots you found, I know them all in that area so I will see if it's correct 

I'll send you a PM with a link to the GM url. It's taking forever for the dots to appear now, and when they do, they take forever for the yellow guy to drop on them, he stays dangling and nothing happens. I'm done with blue dots.

I am sorry so few people solved this, and I'm also sorry for the bad placed blue dots. I know, I hate them too, but they give access to many places and sometimes I like to do puzzles with them.

This place is called "Trolltunga" (Norway), you have all seen a picture of this atleast once, am I right?




Yep, this is it. However, it would have been to easy to recognize it from the typical angle from where the pictures are taken from. From my picture, you can hardly admire the magnificence of this place. But trust me, it's the same place, prospective fools our eyes.
