The sheep are back - Transhumance in Schnalstal / Senales Valley.
Transhumance is a type of pastoralism or nomadism, a seasonal movement of livestock between fixed summer and winter pastures. In montane regions, it implies movement between higher pastures in summer and lower valleys in winter. (Wikipedia).

That last shot is my favourite.
ReplyDeleteI love that last pic too, Karl! What a wonderful face. And you gave me a new word!
ReplyDeleteThose sheep have such sweet faces, most photogenic.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of my father's sheep-raising period. Sheep are always getting sick or something. So they were dipped or otherwise treated, and then marked with dye on their backs to indicate what for and who had been treated. I would love to know this color code!
ReplyDeleteAnd what adorable and happy sheep they are.
ReplyDeleteWish I could be there to see it!!
ReplyDeleteHow interesting to know about this time of year for the herds. Such personality comes through with the close up photos. Nicely captured :)
