Mountain goats are among the largest mammals found at higher altitudes, but they often descend to sea level as they forage for food. We spotted this mother and her kid moving along a narrow path of rock high on a massive cliff. They were well out of camera range, but my long telephoto lens and a couple of strong crops reveal a sense of vulnerability within this image. A very young kid rests on the ground, while its mother stands alongside, ready to prod it into action. The massive rocks seem unforgiving. The scale of the kid is far smaller than its mother, and seems tiny and helpless when compared to the rocky context.
