that is unbelievable

That is unbelievable..............oh, I guess that has already been said!! It is still......unbelievable

Jerry
I saw those on Taxi... those are some great photos, eh??!!

Those goats can defy gravity.

OMG! To be able to climb like that.

really unbeliavable. Where the pictures are taken?

I don't know where they were taken, someone posted them on Taxidermy.net. It was mentioned that they might be eating lichen that has grown on the rocks.

Maybe Mario can fill us in more;

They were taken in the Italian Alps in late July;

Lake Composecco/Lake Cingino/Piemonte Area according to the photographer....

Wow

If they are shopped;they did a hell of a job on the shadow work;





Must have put this in the album to complete the sell;




Guess with the internet/computers you never really know?

Maybe the guy with these on his album never climbed any of the peaks on there either?

I have seen amazing photoshop work being posted on the Net.

I am almost certain these photos are photoshoped.

Even National Geographic contest photos have been photoshoped. And they only found out about them after the winner has been announced!?

We have to send Mario there immediately to determine if it's Photoshopped ! If Mario can walk the wall it's OK !

From the data I could pull off the photos (not much) and the shadow layout of ALL of the structures in All of the pictures, these appear to be genuine. Great photos.

Look here.....

They are even photo-shopping video of them Ibex on that same dam wall

Guess there is honesty out there in the world somewhere;

it's called video-shop dinsdale, geez

Saeed, you had me wondering . . .

A healthy dose of skepticism is a good thing these days, when photos cannot be trusted.

But those videos seal the deal.

My Italian may be doubtful, but it seems that the ibex are licking mineral salts off of the face of the dam.

What amazing animals they are!

I guess Adobe has really taken the art of faking to a new level with those pics and now video.

Gentlemen,

I could, of course, be wrong.

Bt, having been interested in both photos and video for a long time, and having been duped by some fantastic photoshop work, I tend to be may be more skeptical than most.

Saeed,
I'm on vacation now. I'm still waiting some infos about this dam

Fantastico!

WOW! how cool is that!

After hunting these buggers in New Mexico in Deming. I have seen them on shear rock walls with only 3/4" of rock ledge in some places.
I could not believe they walked on them. I would say without a doubt they could be on that DAM surface.

I have hunted 5 different species of ibex. I absolutely believe they can do it.

Im just curious, since i have never hunted for ibex before. Why would they climb those rocks? there doesnt seem to be any food or are they going after water leaking from the dam...have to admit those are pretty cool photos.

There's no doubt in my mind the pics and vids are real. I never doubted it to begin with.

Probably the efflouresence coming through the masonry.
Must draw them in just as a saltlick does to livestock and game.

All I can think to say is....."holy shit!!"

Saeed and friends,

returned from the holidays, I have spoken with my friend living in Piemonte and he said that is normal for the ibex do that. He saw them many times even in the Malciaussia dam. So the photo must be authentic.

Mario,
Your friends told you if accidents happen?
Have they ever seen a falling ibex?

ehehhe of course this can happens
