Impending Föhn - a photo on Flickriver

Impending Föhn

            Aegerisee (Lake Aegeri), Canton Zug, Switzerland. Looking south towards Sattel, the Fronalpstock and Canton Schwyz.

A Föhn is a wall of wind that travels north from Italy. The Aegeri valley cut which you can see in this photo at the end of the lake is a natural funnel for part of this wind as it travels towards the observer. It's not uncommon for the wind to accelerate across the lake at 100km/hr while the rest of the lake to the right in this photo is almost dead calm.

During a Föhn, extraordinary cloud formations can often be seen over the alps to the south.
