Svolværgeita - spot the climbers?

From Svolvær you should be able to spot Svolværgeita - at least if the weather is not to bad. This picture is taken from the middle of the town. If you look close at the picture (click at it to show a bigger picture and zoom in), you should be able to spot the two horns of the "goat" (i.e. the mountain) a little to the right and up from the middle. Even more spectacular, if you look even closer, you will notice two climbers on the left horn. One of them has a red jacket and the other one a blue. They are soon ready to make the jump over to the other horn! If you would like to try yourself, yoy may find more information here.

Photo details: EOS 30D with my EF 70-200 F4 L at f/4.0 with a focal length of 200 mm. WIth ISO at 100, the shutter time was 1/1250 seconds. The picture has been slightly adjusted and cropped with PhotoShop Elements.

This picture is part of my Lofoten set at flickr.
