Halo Goat

in #photofeed5 years ago

One of the beautiful things about being up high in the mountains at dusk is the low angle the sun makes during its final minutes of the day. A halo of light glows though the thick winter coat of this Rocky Mountain goat (Oreamnos americanus) as it grazes in the high altitude meadows leading down from snowbird pass. The blue gray in the upper left is the Robson glacier. Mt Robson Provincial Park, British Columbia, Canada.

Lovely goat! I have never seen such kind of goats. It looks so fluffy and soft:)))

They are beautiful to see.

I love him. he is sparkly and sincere looking, a unicorn in disguise.

That halo effect is pretty cool! It wasn’t too bothered by you taking photos of it?

No I was some way away with my 400mm lens.

All hail the glowing goat!

It walked on the water and swam on the land. It was so cool.

Flagg for bidbot abuse goat! 🐐 ‘s!

It took me 3 days hiking in the wilderness, 10k worth of gear and 20 years photography experience to get this shot. And you don't flag shit that takes people 3 minutes to write.
