Cataract Cove, Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska.
This in another photo from my time in Kenai Fjords National Park last week. Can you spot the mountain goat? It is amazing where these guys live! Below is a little closer photo which will give away the Mountain Goat’s location.

This is soo cool Ron! The mtn goat is in the upper just slightly right of center part of the frame.
Yeah Ron, these guy live on rock that is almost straight up and down or though it seems. Nice photo
Thanks Richard – yep, that’s it!.
Thanks Dennis.
Well this is as beautiful of a scene as you’ll find with a Mountain Goat. Funny thing is I had the exact same thought while in Glacier National Park last week… it is amazing how these creatures live on the edge. I ended up taking a vertical panoramic that I’ve yet to publish of Mountain Goats on a very tall cliff in Many Glaciers. As soon as I get it out I’ll point you to it.
Hi Jim,
Thanks a lot!
Glacier is such a wonderful National Park – I look forward to seeing your mountain goat image, along with everything else from your whirl wind trip!
I am always fascinated by how an animal of any kind, even as small as this goat in the frame, becomes a major point of interest. Once I found it, it drew me to it and the meaning of the image totally changes.
Hey thanks Paul. I think this could be cool as a really big print – one where the goat would be more obvious in such a cool environment.
Thanks,
Ron
Holy cliff hangers, batman, that’s wicked cool!
Thanks Laurent!
