Fossen som faller oppover
On very windy days, strong gusts can blow a Norwegian waterfall's spray back up into the sky.

Se nøye på denne fossen. Vannet faller ikke ned. Det blåser opp, tilbake mot himmelen, som en video som spilles baklengs.
Dette rare synet skjer på svært vindfulle dager ved høye fosser i Norge. Sterk vind presser hardt mot vannet som faller. De minste dråpene er lette nok til at vinden får tak i dem. I stedet for å falle mot bakken flyr de tilbake opp i lufta.
Store vanndråper er for tunge til dette. Bare den bitte lille, lette yren snur. Stå her på en vindfull dag, så kan du se en hel foss se ut som den ombestemmer seg.
That's the story.
