Lysefjord (iii)

From the deck of the MV Black Watch I spotted electric cables and pylons and thought the wires were going up the side of the fjord.

No.

In Norway they think nothing of stringing cables right across the fjords:-

They dip quite low:-

A more typical fjord sight. A waterfall:-

At first, being a habitual user of the SI system of units, I read this as, “Distance to horizon 7 nanometres”:-

Horizon 7 nm

Then I remembered we were on a ship. “7 nautical miles.”
