The troll's comment that the red rock was supposed to be a "steel plate" has me wondering if these tombstone rocks were actually installed for the UTØYA event itself, and are intended to contain little brass plaques with the names of the dead vicsims, etc.
the panoramio photo previously linked shows at its higher resolution that the "red rock" is in fact a steel beam of some kind, probably used to keep together the whole thing. Maybe that's where the "steel" remark comes from.

In any case there is no doubt this is not an accidental artifact, a bunch of stones piled up there, but it is instead some sort of outdoor sculpture that needed steel beams not to fall over. If it was set up for the occasion or it was some sort of shoreline bench or decoration I can't tell. But would a bench or even a sculpture be turned into an altar like this? Doubtfully. I have to go with "created on purpose" and "photoshopped at will".
Probably the area where the rocks lay is cordoned off and nobody but actors can be seen next to them, if they really exist at all.
Incidentally, from that panoramio picture another detail can be made out: the damn van...

Holy cow, nonho, that pic is the motherload of fuster-clucks in just that section alone! Darkened as usual trying to hide their bloopers. I lightened & cropped a few details as examples.
If that's a "steel" beam it's the weirdest one I've ever seen, looks more like painted wood (even weirder)
As expected, shadows are faked — ever see a darker outline around shadows cast by solid objects?
Nice little black 'halo' outline around this

How can light spots show out of

Ooh...little 'demon eyes'? Aaw, how cute
Something tells me this bunch of crap exists only in pixels — and it's not even good
