When I Looked At The First Picture,

I was not sure what I was looking at, odd random objects that had fallen down the face of a dam in Diga del Cingino in Northern Italy,
and some how had gotten 'snagged' on the face of the dam,
but it turns out they are living animals, Alpine Ibex, they make the dam wall a feeding area, it appears that mosses grow there, also some sources say that mineral salts are deposited on the dam and the Ibex like them off the dam face,
such a precarious hold on life, or in this case the dam wall, it makes me uncomfortable just thinking about one slight slip and it is Goodnight Vienna!
