On my first full day in Mitzpe Ramon, December 15, 2009, I arose early to go to the crater's rim to look for Ibex. Morning is generally the best time to see them, dusk the next. As I walked up the hill of Nachal Grofit to the crater I spied this Ibex coming around the corner of the school:

As I draw closer I see this magnificent male in the early morning light
He turns and walks about 10 feet in front of me
The next morning I see a herd of Ibex with a small boy near-by. He chases them. They run away into the rising sun:
