EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by REUTERS photographer Lisi Niesner, a picturesque scene unfolds in Eisenberg an der Pinka, a charming village nestled in the Austrian Province of Burgenland. Against the backdrop of rolling hills and vibrant autumn foliage, a flock of geese can be seen leisurely feasting on oats scattered across the lush green pasture. These geese are not your ordinary birds; they are raised with great care and purpose. Their grazing habits play an essential role in preparing for a cherished tradition known as the Martin Goose dinner or Martini Gansl. This centuries-old celebration honors St. Martin and is deeply rooted in Austrian culture. The image beautifully captures both the tranquility of rural life and the significance of culinary customs passed down through generations. As these geese indulge in their nutrient-rich meal, they unknowingly contribute to an age-old feast that brings communities together every year. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this photograph serves as a reminder of how traditions connect us to our heritage and foster unity among people from all walks of life. It encapsulates the essence of Austria's rich cultural tapestry while showcasing nature's harmony with human practices. Lisi Niesner's lens skillfully freezes this fleeting moment, inviting viewers to appreciate not only the beauty found within this frame but also reflect upon their own traditions that bind them to their roots.
