Description The Rocky Mountain goat is one of the most magical animals I can think of. They must be some distant relative to the Unicorn, but with two horns... twice the magic.

There is this pretty special spot just a few hundred feet from my front door up here on Sugarloaf. It's an amazing quartz deposit that sits up on the top of the ridge. As winter starts to set in, the winds can be ferocious and quite often blow the trees over. The view from my studio window looks out over this ridge and the quartz pile, and it's certainly inspiring. I had to use my imagination to see these mountain goats hanging out over there, but it's not that far of a stretch really

Love that mosaic-style aurora winding across the sky, and your description of the mountain goats as distant relatives of unicorns. Magical indeed!

Digital - interesting. I like the inclusion of 2 goats, one close up portrait and a shot of the body.

I thought that was water in the lower left at first, not wind. it looks more flowy than blowy.

I volunteered at a zoo in Idaho for a while, and the first week I raked up mountain goat droppings. Was there magic in their pellets? Maybe... ha ha
