At the risk of being too specific and wrong again. Are you very close to Langenes Church on Langøya oya looking across to Andoya oya.

That's fairly precisely correct. The church is just behind me. A word on norsk translation. øy means island. øya means the island. Langøya is the long island, Andøya is the duck island in case you're interested.

The two main features in this pic have the same name, as does the town just behind me. Did I mention its a *&%$#! huge waterfall.

I didn't think this would require a monumental effort with Google Images but I may have been wrong.

It looks to me like the features one sees in Arches National Monument (which is not just about arches), but Google Images doesn't seem to confirm it.

Thanks Graham. I wonder how many three/multiple sisters or brothers formations exist worldwide.

North America. Bonus point for naming both glacier and waterfall:

That's it, Mendenhall Glacier and Nugget Creek Falls near Juneau in Alaska. So you get the bonus point. All yours.
