Wild Alp goats

These pictures were shot at the Mattmark dam in Switzerland. I was there early in the evening to capture the sunset. That didn't really work because of the cloudy weather, but then..... there were some wild goats on the dam!!! They are still quite rare and I was able to approach them quite close. I had to use ISO 800 to 1600 and large apperture to capture them so the shots are not of great technical quality, but nevertheless I was very happy to meet these beautifull wild animals.
