frikosalThe wild goat and the moon

*

Sierra Nevada (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sierra_Nevada_%28Spain%29), near Granada (Spain), is an impressive mountain with elevations up to 3480 meters and perpetual snow. That night, with almost full moon, we went there to admire the sky. But just after sunset we had a surprise: the wild goats (capra pyrenaica) that live in the high areas went down to eat. They are strong animals and very good climbers. When this goat saw us it was very close and it ran quickly downhill to escape, as if it was trying to chase the moon.
