Prezwoodz and I ran across this guy while on a hike detailed HERE if you're interested in the rest of the story. :thumb Got about twenty feet away before we spotted each other, and we managed to get quite a few clicks in before he wandered off. Hope you enjoy!

    The coat is brilliant. The background (scree?) is quite a contrast to that brilliance. I suspect these monitors are expecting some flurries? Alpine Hikes Rock! lol, thanks for sharing.

    The third shot is the best as it has the best exposure and comp! Nice series.

    Very nice shots, ColdClimb--prime animal, in a great setting, with good light. By the way, the link to your climbiing photos had some extra text that kept it from working. For the rest of the viewers, this should work: http://dgrin.com/showthread.php?p=636729

    The climbing addition is a nice way to see how you got into the habitat. These shots weren't just taken from some car window in the lower 48.... Hope you get that DSLR on your wish list.

    Heh... guess I should edit that wishlist, these were taken with my brand new DSLR, so I already have gotten my wish. :D Thanks for all the comments all, it's always great to know people enjoy my work!
