| Rough weather is waiting... | [ Sizes: Orig | Med | Small | Thumb ] |
Rough weather is waiting around the corner. These and other weird looking clouds were racing over the sky the whole day. Forming, disappearing, re-forming and changing at a high pace.
Late the following night a violent blizzard arrived.
Photo shot from in between El Fraile and El Muerto, on the way to Ojos del Salado.

Hasn't voted | That days I was walking fast. I was more than a bit concerned with the weather. Those cloud formations were really ominous and it was clear a big old mother of a storm was approaching. It hit and the next day climbing (Ojos del Salado) was one of the most intense of my life. | | Posted Nov 20, 2005 6:17 pm |

They follow me I think.

Voted 10/10 | That one cloud looks like an upside-down mountain. Instead of hiking fast that day, I think I would have been on my knees praying for forgiveness. | | Posted Dec 14, 2005 8:43 am |

Yes, the cloud formations were scary.
Combined with the violent ice cold wind squalls it created a doomsday atmosphere. | | Posted Dec 20, 2005 11:44 am |
