Yes, there is a rainy season in fall and winter, and often a lot of snow. The North face of Visocica has already known, as far as I know, a few landslides during the 20th century : first at the beginning of the century, then again in the 1950's. That's why the pine forrest was planted it seems, the same forrest the Foundation has partially destroyed to make the excavations. From what I could see of the rock layers on pictures (big slabs of conglomerate, with an important dip, lying on marls...), the possibility of an important landslide is not excluded. I read on different bosnian blogs that the local authorities were aware of this risk, and that it was the reason why the excavations were partially stopped on this North side. It is probably because this risk is publicly known that the Foundation insists, in every recent news about the "pyramids", on the fact that they have controlled the stability of the probes and that they could see no signs of landslide ; see for instance here [www.piramidasunca.ba] ("the scientific experts of the Foundation have again inspected all the probes on the pyramid of the Sun and pyramid of the Moon, and have informed us that there is no physical change in them") or here [www.piramidasunca.ba] ("the scientific experts [...] have made these last days one more regular survey of all the probes [...]. A visual inspection has shown that the weather events had no effect on the state and stability of the sonds").

Were I to live in Visoko, I would not feel very much reassured by this, knowing the way the Foundation has often "arranged" the facts...
