A mountain goat pauses on the cliffs of Gloomy Knob in Glacier Bay NationalPark. I photographed this animal from a boat. When I started shooting thisgoat with my 300mm, it was way high on the cliffs above me. For someunexplained reason, this goat started to walk down the cliff and stoodabout 50 feet away from the boat. I ended up shooting this photo with an80mm. This photo illustrates page 20 in the Alaska 2004 Engagement Calendarthat features one of my photos for every week of 2004. Camera: Nikon F5,Lens: 80-200mm f/2.8 Nikkor, Film: 35mm Fuji Velvia.-Mark Kelley
