Hey Beth,

Thanks.

Hey Richard

Thanks man. It really is pretty awesome to have a wild animal allow you to be a part of it’s existence, even if just for a few hours. In some ways I lament the popularity of places like Denali or Jasper NP, in Canada), over wilder places like Wrangell – St. Elias, but I also remember it’s mostly because of that popularity and heavy visitation from tourists that the animals are so habituated to the presence of humans and they allow us to be up close like this. I’ve never got anywhere near this close to a Dall sheep in the Wrangells, try as I might.

Cheers

Carl

I have always thought this is a great photo Carl – the wide-angle perspective makes the image!

Hey Mark

Thanks man. Yeah, I got pretty lucky with this one .. I wish the light was a little better, but I didn’t mind lazing about on a mtn top on a nice warm sunny day at the time.

These guys are something else, but if you really wanna see cool mtn action, check out mtn goats – they make the sheep look like they’re on training wheels.

Cheers

Carl

Hey Carl – It has always amazed me when i see video footage of rams how agile they are across the craziest rock faces. The perspective you captured in this shot, with the ram overpowering the mountain, shows so clearly their dominance in such a harsh habitat. Sweet.
