Last weekend I went up to Nakamuli and Collon refugee, in Valpelline, Aosta valley (Italy/Switzerland).
I collaborate to a documentary about old Collon refugee, a lost place in the wild, many years ago used as place to rest and sleep before a climbing day, now replaced by a newer and more comfortable refugee (Nakamuli). This documentary is about collecting memory of that place, to promote it hoping it will remembered and saved due to its historical value.
During a break, I followed an ibex on the rock. It was very photogenic! I stayed faraway to take some pics, then I tried to get close to him, and he has gone away, walking on a ridge and going back to the refugee.
Pictures taken with Nikon D800, 70-200 F4.

Wild with big horns.. lovely photography... Nice work keep it up
Wow, it's such a beautiful creature. Those horns are everything! Also the appearance of this creature really suits the appearance of that environment, like they compliment each other. Great shots @barnabo73
What a beautiful beast, thanks for sharing your photos.
It looks like it posed for you, did you bring some salt for it?
Really!
No, i haven't any food for him
They really like it if you bring a big bag of salt up there and throw it on the ground, they crave it sort of like horses and cattle.
Wow. You walked this and saw that?
What a moment! Bit jealous :)
Incredible
yes, I did! Thank you
Spectacular! I'll look out for more...
What a fortunate encounter that was for you and the ibex. Your photos are stunning!
Beautiful photos
What a shot, it must be taking lot of effort to have it freeze.
Dear @barnabo73, sorry to jump in a bit off topic but may I ask you to support the HiveSQL proposal?
It lost its funding recently and your help would be much appreciated to keep the HiveSQL service free for the Hive community.
You can do it on Peakd, Ecency,
Thank you for your support!
