21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Shepherd of Ibex
The Nubian Ibex are a protected animal in Israel and this has resulted in them being less apprehensive of humans, roaming the streets of the desert towns and looking for food dumped by the people. In a biblical-like scene, a girl wrapped in a blanket is walking to the Ramon Crater rim in the Negev desert to watch the sunrise, with a small herd of ibex following her in hope of getting food.
