As the sun rose February 21, skies showed red or orange in a region covering Eastern Switzerland, Western Austria and Southern Germany.
This has never been experienced so intense before.

Darn, it's tough to get to a thread early enough these days to post "it's Bush's fault" first - although those in Europe probably said that already, as they watched the orange sky.

A babelfish translation of your source:
Naturspektakel - photos sent user to us a Naturspektakel of the special class could one Saturday morning in west Austria observe. Sahara sand colored the sky orange. Many in addition photos sent user to us. Stormy south wind responsible for the orange sky color is a stormy south wind, which comes directly from North Africa. The foehn to country brings here in consequence unites Sahara sand with itself. This weather-technical phenomenon could weden in this strength in Vorarlberg never seen, says Arnold Tschofen of the weather station in Bregenz. So an extreme sky discoloration does not occur on the average every 15 years, dangerously is the Sahara dust.

This is yet another reason to love FR.
Would I have ever seen or heard about this weird phenomenon if not for this forum? No!
Thanks for the pics.

Looks like a Tucson AZ sunset. BeautifulWe do have breathtaking skies here.

Strange--the skies looked normal here in Western Germany. The photos look like something out of the Old Testament.
Love the Garmish area--my favorite part of Germany.

For some reason, this struck me as hilariously funny and now I my facial muscles are contorting.

Oh, oh - even funnier - THIS is what my previous post was about; not the beautiful orange sky.
I'm not going to attempt any complicated tasks today.

stormy south wind, which comes directly from North Africa. This is similar to a phenomenon which periodically occurs in southern Spain and is referred to as the 'Levante'. I'm not a meteorologist, but understood it to be the result of strong wind (and sand) blowing up from North Africa into the Iberian Peninsula. The air would get very heavy and discolored for a few days whenever this occurred.

I doubt that this was "never seen before". The painting "The Scream"'s red sky was inspired by a volcanically induced global red sky that lasted for months.

It is funny but what beautiful photos. Sunsets here in Louisiana the past couple of days have been breathtaking.

Lazamataz (Dangerously is the Sahara dust.) ... and as he wandered the lonely Sahara, bringing his own sinisterly brand of justice to that forsakenly land, he felt something stirring deeply within his heart, hardened to human emotion since that fatefully encounter with fate many years before, but, No! Never again must he feel the pain, the searing agonizingly pain, of his past! No! He must trudge onwardly into the blinding sunset, seeking injustice only in order to pound it into the cruel yet beckoningly beautiful sands of the Sahara, hoping against hope that no other man or beast should ever again suffer so and for so long and for so many who would never know of his sacrifices for them ... in the deadly dangerously Sahara dust.
(humbly) This is what your tagline means to me.

I live in a wooded area so seeing a beautiful sunset is always a welcome treat.
