Denali National Park, Alaska, USA. Hopefully, the photo depicts just how steep is this rock outcropping on which the dall sheep jumped about noshing on grass. Enjoy!
The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
I've often thought it would be fun to reincarnate as one of these gravity-defying goats... just kidding, I'm too scared of heights... ;-) Great capture here, and, yes, it does look really really steep. mary
With my background in civil engineering, Thad, I'm guess that the cliff face is pretty close to 90°, or if you were standing on your head, 270°. You've indicated that blue skies were rare in previous posts, yet this looks like yet another sunny day in Alaska. From the angle of the shot it appears that you are slightly above this fellow; so to make me feel better I'll assume that you climbed a neighboring peak just to get this shot. Once again a "Hey, You" might have turned this guy around. Then again, it also might have spooked him and forced your compatriots to toss you over the edge.
Another beauty of a shot. Except for the ex-governor, Mother Nature seems to have been very kind to the is state.
This is just a great all around capture Thad. Not only is the mountain sheep beautiful but you brought out all the coloring in the rock as well and yes I can definatly tell how steep that cliff is.
