Photo No. 283 "Wind Gusts"

Title: "Wind Gusts"



Place: Montsent de Pallars, Pyrenees, Spain
Date: 2009-01-27
Description: In this Catalan pre-coastal range, those common gusts are also known as El Torb, an expression describing gusty winds flogging the mountain tops and carrying snow even higher up into the air, hindering visibility and letting you feel as if the temperature had reached many degrees below zero. They are considered very dangerous winds and have cost the lives of many mountaineers.
