This is really something... the location is the Diga del Cingino dam in northern Italy. The really cool part is those little dark bumps on the front face of the dam.
Those are Alpine Ibex just hanging around licking minerals off the rocks. (As always, click the pics for bigger, more detailed versions.) Must be nice not to be bound by that pesky gravity thing that seems to fuck us humans up so often.
Video of a death-defying, gravity ignoring ibex... Evidently the steep face of the dam is just like the cliffs these goofballs typically hang out on. Seems a little like unnecessary thrillseeking, like the birds that fly within inches of the front of your car. Maybe they're just trying to piss us humans off. You have to admit it's a little humbling... or maybe it's humiliating, that an animal with a brain the size of a lime can do something like this so casually. I'm sure a human could climb up the face of this dam, but let me see one just go out and walk across it upright like this. Plus, it's like an "in your face" thing, isn't it? I mean, what's next, they line themselves up just right to spell out "up yours, dumbasses"? Maybe we need to teach them a lesson, who in fact is the biggest and the strongest. We have the Atomic Bomb. Screw you ibex and your anti-gravity dam licking. In the words of a very wise man, "Drop the bomb. Exterminate them all."
It's the weekend!
