There are none of the features in view that the name of this place describes (quite a few in the current pic in the aus thread though), apart from maybe a very large, very slow one behind me?

Time for a clue. This was on a day walk somewhere north of the arctic circle. On the walk we met a couple with backpacks who when we asked said they where walking to Sweden, which may actually be visible in this pic, if not its just beyond the hills at the back.

I think I had the answer the other day but was hoping someone else would jump in.
I'll try Værivassfossen aka Litlverivassforsen, Rago NP Norway.

Correct John. A pretty specky day walk, and also looks like an interesting route to Sweden and the Kungsleden. Maybe one day :-)

We visited Italy a very long time ago eggs, but not this spot.
I think it will be Grotta di Lord Byron at Porto Venere.

Yes John.
We had hoped to do the walk north from here, but weather dissuaded us.

Dramatic view but does look ominous for walking.

Yes that's the one eggs. I think there were probably more than three coconuts :) but it was a nice walk in the mountains.
