It's quite snowy up here! For some reason having snow in my beard and moustache makes me feel like Gandalf.

Naturally when I saw a place called "Goat Prison" on my map I had to go to have a look! It (third photo) turned out to be a a place where a little river canyon widened out into a big sort of craggy hole in the ground – which I indeed imagine a goat might find it somewhat harder to get out of than otherwise. (But then, goats are great at climbing, so I expect they'd probably manage it.) Unfortunately it was very full of trees so, while very dramatic to look at in person, is quite hard to appreciate in a photo. However, the surrounding hills come across quite nicely!
