EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the mesmerizing sight of sheep transhumance over the Val Senales glacier in South Tyrol, Italy. The breathtaking scenery of this European region is beautifully showcased as a flock of sheep traverses the vast expanse of snow-covered ice. The scale and grandeur of the glacier are emphasized by the tiny silhouettes of the sheep, creating a stunning contrast between nature's immensity and these humble animals. The image evokes a sense of awe and wonder at the resilience and adaptability displayed by both livestock and landscape. In this snapshot, Carlo Morucchio/Robert Harding skillfully captures not only a moment frozen in time but also an age-old tradition deeply rooted in agriculture. Transhumance, or seasonal migration, has been practiced for centuries as shepherds lead their flocks to higher pastures during summer months. This timeless practice not only ensures ample grazing opportunities for these woolly creatures but also preserves traditional farming methods that have shaped rural communities across Europe. As viewers gaze upon this horizontal composition, they are transported to an enchanting world where icy glaciers meet lush green meadows. It serves as a reminder that amidst our modern lives filled with technology and urban landscapes, there still exists untouched beauty waiting to be explored in travel destinations like Val Senales.
