The Waterfall That Falls Upward

Look closely at this waterfall. The water is not falling down. It is blowing up, back into the sky, like a video playing backward.

Pogledaj dobro ovaj slap. Voda ne pada dolje. Puše prema gore, natrag u nebo, kao snimka koja se vrti unatrag.

This strange sight happens on very windy days at tall waterfalls in Norway. Strong wind pushes hard against the falling water. The smallest drops are light enough for the wind to catch. Instead of dropping to the ground, they fly back up into the air.

Ovaj čudan prizor događa se za jakog vjetra na visokim slapovima u Norveškoj. Snažan vjetar tiska u vodu koja pada. Najsitnije kapi dovoljno su lagane da ih vjetar uhvati. Umjesto da padnu na tlo, lete natrag u zrak.

Big drops of water are too heavy for this. Only the tiny, light spray turns around. Stand here on a windy day, and you might watch an entire waterfall seem to change its mind.

Velike kapi vode preteške su za to. Okrene se samo sitna, lagana prašina. Stani ovdje na vjetrovit dan i možda ćeš gledati kako se cijeli slap predomišlja.
