Chamois Leaping Alpine Ridge Winter in above a glacial stream near Sopocachi, La Paz

Chamois Leaping Alpine Ridge Winter

by Ralph Hardin

Silvery winter light cuts through heavy, dramatic clouds to illuminate a chamois mid-air against a darkening sky. The animal's legs are tucked tightly, hooves extended as it clears a rocky ridge. Below, a glacial stream flows through the valley near Sopocachi in La Paz, its surface reflecting the pale dawn. The chamois coat appears thick and coarse, blending with the grey stones and sparse winter vegetation. The tight framing isolates the creature's tense muscles and the sharp angles of the terrain. One droplet of melting ice rests on the tip of a nearby rock, marking the cold air.
