Fair point. Perhaps what I should have said was, Oh My! Someone's taken a good photo indoors!

Odd that people don't tend to take photos indoors much. I guess taking a camera with you to the wall is a percieved as being a bit daft - I know it's not something I'd usually do. But if you like photography it's as good a place as any to play with your camera.

The fact that the situation indoors is not conducive to photography has nothing to do with the amount of light.

Looks knobbly.

How knobbly is it, on a scale of 1 to 12.333, where 1 is less knobbly than anything you can think of (don't even try, it'll make your head hurt) and 12.333 is really very knobbly?

Almost 11.1. The area is called Hiidenkrinut, which apparently means "devils churn," or so they tell me, and have some really interesting rock. Some form of granite-ish rock with a lot of intrusion of some soft rock, and a lot of the soft rock has been withered away by the forces of time. So some problems has a silly amount of knobs, and some boulders has more pockets than all of Frankenjura. Strange place. It is in the middle of nowhere, close to where Santa keeps shop.
