The Seven Sisters Waterfall, Norway

 Good Morning Extra-Velganzer, its very nice to meet you in this sunny day.  Little bit cloudy, because I can see group of cumulus “Big” Nimbo flying around here. But, no problem,the sun light still shine up there. So this is the best time to travel and spend energy and also spend “Wow” Words to see beautifull nature, amazing site and unforgotable environment.

So, right now, I am travel in Norway, Sitting in the boat observe the amazing water strippers The Seven Sisters. They are so amazing, never stop to dance, every time, every day and every week and I guess it will be long lasted untill the here after. So beautifull.

People may ask me, what are you talking about?. Just calm down, because right now we are going to explore the adventure of Geirangerford generally, specifically we are going to see The Seven Sisters Waterfall or in Norway famous with De Syv Søstrene or Dei Sju Systrene, also known as Knivsflåfossen.

The Seven Sisters (Norwegian: De Syv Søstrene or Dei Sju Systrene, also known as Knivsflåfossen) is the 39th tallest waterfall in Norway. The waterfall consists of seven separate streams that’s why it called “Seven Sisters”. I don’t really understand why the people add  “Sisters” joining with the “seven”, why not just put “Seven Brothers”. Probably its because this seven waterfall place in same location but have seven stream, that’s why it called Sisters.  The tallest of the seven has a free fall that measures 250 metres (820 ft). The legend of the seven sisters is that they dance playfully down the mountain, while a single waterfall opposite the seven sisters (known as the Courter, or Suitor, a male onlooker) flirts playfully from across the fjord. In Norwegian, 'The Suitor' is Friaren

 it is located along the Geirangerfjord in the municipality of Stranda in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. The waterfall is located just south of the historic Knivsflå farm, across the fjord from the old Skageflå farm. The falls are about 6.5 kilometres (4.0 mi) west of the village of Geiranger.

In Norway, seven adjacent waterfalls famously drop into Geirangerfjord, a fjord so impressive that it has been included on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The Seven Sisters stream over the fjord's 400-meter walls and are a popular attraction in summer months. In winter, The Seven Sisters flow as usual, the sea-level temperatures warm enough that the falls infrequently solidify.
