Bruno D'Amicis - Chamois sunrise

 

Who knows me, knows that I love Apennine chamois. Always on the move to pursue them with my camera, I explored all the corners of the Central Apennines in Italy to get different shots of these amazing animals. Here a female with two kids (ie. newborn animals) is moving on a very thin ridge, silhouetted against the waters of the Adriatic Sea at sunrise. Even though we were above 2000m asl, the sea and summer are not far away.
