Mountain Goat in the Mount Rushmore National Memorial and Black Hills

            Seeing these mountain goats eating grass in this field was more of a fluke of missing the parking level in the nearby garage for the Mount Rushmore area. As I wasn't really in a hurry given the overcast skies and low clouds, I decided with the absence of traffic around to take my time compose this image and meter it properly (or what I felt was). I then had to wait for the goats to at least kind of look my way...
