Vertical Collision (Single)
DESCRIPTION
The week I took this picture nature was as spectacular as it gets, with alternations of rain, rainbow and snow, and with several fights of the bucks; it never happened to me, either before or afterwards, to get such a dream mix of elements. The two bucks of Victoria’s mountain goat in this picture were evenly matched and fought for some forty minutes, with highly spectacular but surprisingly orderly exchanges. Sierra de Gredos, Spain.
