I thought I'd find it already white.... sent on October 24, 2020 (21:17) by Ruggero Casse. 40 comments, 1751 views. [retina]

at 400mm, 1/1000 f/5.6, ISO 2000, hand held.

Caldo e assolato pomeriggio di fine ottobre: lungo la pista che conduce al colle lo sguardo si concentra sull'accidentato percorso mentre dai lati, a spot, giungono caldi riflessi d'erba secca e mirtillo. Sotto il colle il complicato traverso che decido d'intraprendere, tra massi e detriti, viene presto intercettato da una chiassosa brigata di coturne. Quando s'involano, proseguo stizzito verso un canalino erboso, inframezzato da qualche roccetta, all'interno del quale durante l'estate, io e altri amici fotografi, abbiamo agganciato per ben tre volte un ermellino. Trovato un buon posto presso cui sedere e attendere l'evoluzione dei fatti, vengo presto raggiunto dalla gelida aria che scende dall'Ambin. Aspetto tre ore in compagnia di quell'aria frizzante; aspetto quell'ultimo raggio di sole all'interno del quale, come dice l'amico Alberto, se riuscissimo a fotografare i nostri tanto desiderati soggetti porteremmo a casa una magia... Aspetto il sole scomparire dietro le creste e poi attendo ancora un pochino, ché non si sa mai. Quando mi accorgo che le mani cercano continuamente il tepore delle saccocce capisco che è giunta l'ora di ritirare tutto e di tornare con calma verso le grange. Immagino che anche questa volta i giochi siano fatti, ma desidero fortemente godermi ancora un po' il momento e mi soffermo a osservare quell'ambiente alpino. Mille volte perlustrato in passato adesso rievoca altrettanti ricordi fatti di precipitose fughe di lepri, frulli di coturne e corse di camosci. Nel gran Boursey, dove la pendenza si addolcisce e le valanghe si arenano, sento a malincuore di essere ormai alla fine della giornata. Attraverso le ultime sterili depressioni scavate dalle slavine invernali e realizzo che proprio lì, gli scorsi inverni, venivo a rincorrere le tracce dell'ermellino. Ma la situazione era completamente diversa! C'erano metri e metri di neve… Adesso, solo sassi e pezzi d'albero strappati dal gelido soffio invernale. Quando sono ormai prossimo alle case, nei pascoli più comodi, riconosco ancora due enormi massi attorno ai quali, proprio in quei famosi inverni, venivo ostinatamente trascinato dalle impronte dell'ermellino. “Chissà… Potrebbe essere per qua; io sono salito lassù sopra, ai margini della neve pensando che fosse già tutto bianco, ma se non lo fosse, cosa ci starebbe a fare lassù al freddo?” Mentre cerco di dare una risposta alla mia domanda, la coda dell'occhio coglie un guizzo: è in profondità, verso un'altra grossa roccia. Penso al solito codirosso; o magari a una cesena. Ma nella mente rimbalzano ostinatamente i ricordi di quelle fantastiche giornate invernali trascorse proprio lì, a seguire la pesta dell'ermellino…

All in a story and a shot. The majority of itinerant hunting in the Alps. Good! And thank you for sharing.
