Marc Steichen - Between heaven and earth
This chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra) was walking on a snow-covered cliff just above me. I decided to abstract the photo by photographing the animal from my low angle against the blue sky. At that moment I had the impression that the chamois was walking on a cloud – between heaven and sky.
Location: Gran Paradiso NP - Italy

Chamois in the Gran Paradiso, a great animal in a beautiful place. I spent a great two weeks there last year and came back with ALOT of nice pictures. Photographed a Winter Hen up close and personal, many Chamois and bumped into a I bex during one of our hikes. I didn't see any wolves though :-) Keep up the good work guys Johan
