Bavarian Alps, Germany: Chamois

Today I got up early for an early morning photography. I climbed the ridge nearby with my sister. There we caught sight of a few chamois on the slope of the ridge not far from us. We crouched down and I started to take shots of them. Then about 10 meters from us a chamois attracted our attention gazing at us with astonishment. I turned the camera towards it at once then it made a big jump:

Then other chamois arrived at the rock opposite to us:

They were moving with the highest self-confidence on the steep slopes and rocks:
