Transhumance - When Sheep Take on the Alps, and Win!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this incredible snapshot captured by Ardea Picture Library, we witness a sight that has been repeated for centuries - the great sheep trek across the majestic Oetztal Alps. Dating back to the 14th century, this transhumance tradition sees these woolly adventurers traverse perilous terrain between South Tyrol, Italy, and North Tyrol, Austria. Against a breathtaking backdrop of Mount Similaun and Niederjochferner glacier in Austria, this print encapsulates the essence of an arduous yet awe-inspiring journey. These brown mountain beauties form a mighty caravan as they navigate their way through valleys and pastures in search of greener pastures. With autumn hues painting the landscape around them, it's hard not to be captivated by this ancient spectacle. The dedication of these shepherds and their domestic companions is truly remarkable as they brave risky conditions for the sake of tradition and cultural heritage. As spectators watch in amazement from afar, one can't help but feel a sense of admiration for these exhausted yet determined creatures. Their migration serves as a reminder that nature always finds its way despite any obstacles thrown its way. So let us celebrate this unique glimpse into rural life in central Europe - where farming meets adventure! This image reminds us that even amidst modernity's hustle and bustle, there are still pockets where tradition thrives against all odds.
