Musk Ox


I suddenly, but barely saw this creature when me and my friend Mr. Uskarp crossed mount Dovrefjell last week. We were both hoping to see musks again. It was laying down just about a hundred meters off the road.
As you can see we just had to stop and shoot some pictures. A great experience once again.

    Amazing creatures. You have captured it brilliantly. I love the way it almost blends into the background. The contrast of the fur and the undergrowth is great. Great shot.

    Fy, katta, du, det der var en mandig sak å ha på bloggen sin!! Misunnelig, ja - og den skulle vel fått beste innpass på damebloggen min og, om jeg bare fikk øye (og kamera) på noe sånt en gang. Flott, Ivar. Skjønner at dere har hatt en fin tur.

    Håper du har det greit som gressenke mann, og at fruen storkoser seg på Svalbarde :)

    Ha en fin høstdag.

    Great capture Ivar and the setting for the photo is fantastic.

    I tried to photograph these creatures in Alaska but could not find them.

    Taking a little time to catch up with your latest post I must say this is a terrific image! These unique creatures are so beautiful and the terrain they live in offers scenery that cannot be beat anywhere.

    This is a truly memorable image!
    The ox looks quite comfortable in his heather bed.
