Fantasstic composition and rendition!


A brooklet on the Norwegian-Swedish border. This is deep into the conifer forests and drainage waters are peat coloured.

Been under the weather recently,  but sufficiently on the mend today to drive to Sweden (not very far off, by the way). On this trip I packed my old Df together with the modern Z bodies. Culling the files later reminded me how nice and malleable the NEFs from Df are.

Nice Daniel.  They are not dangerous, I guess ;)

Aren't these alpine ibex? So you must be their caretaker!

Thanks John and Fons,

Indeed these are Alpine Ibex and some of them will be released into the wild at the age of approximately 2 years.
Today I was allowed into their enclosure and as long as you keep calm they're behaving.

Going down is easy -- getting up again may be more difficult :)
