Weird i see strange objects which move around at 0.27 on wards to 1.34 at the extream left.

[DarkJedi8x]

I see them too.....not only on left...

[bassplayer142]

birds?

[Athaeus]

Do you mean the flies on the window, or the birds flying by? Very strange animals indeed.

These are Lee clouds. The Foehn you will not see as clouds but as "No CLOUDS". Its the drying of the falling air on the lee side of the mounain chain. Foehn will certainly not bring rain!!

[Jangle2007]

That's right killroy - Foehn winds are snow-eater winds. In north America, they're called chinook winds...decending air that dries and warms, and can attack a deep snowpack with amazing speed.

there will be lots of rain after that mate...

[tarusjr]

it looks like a foot if you look closely

Sweet shot!

[prosepp]

Schad ist nur, dass oben die Ecke abgeschnitten ist, sonst wärs noch imposanter.

Aber 5 ***** sinds auf jeden Fall
