EDITORS COMMENTS
In this breathtaking print captured by Lisi Niesner, a herd of resilient sheep navigate their way along a rugged path towards the alpine pass Hochjoch. The autonomous region of South Tyrol in Italy provides the stunning backdrop for this awe-inspiring scene, as these majestic creatures make their ascent to an impressive altitude of 2,856 meters above sea level. The image showcases the sheer determination and adaptability of these woolly mammals as they traverse through rocky terrain with ease. Their sure-footedness is evident as they gracefully maneuver over stones and slopes, showcasing their natural instincts honed by generations in this challenging environment. With no humans in sight, the focus remains solely on nature's wonders. The view from above offers a unique perspective on the vast mountainous landscape that surrounds them. It serves as a reminder of how small we are compared to the grandeur and power of Mother Nature. The picture was taken during daylight hours, allowing us to appreciate every detail - from each individual strand of wool on these magnificent animals to the marked trail that guides them forward. This creative use of photography captures not just an ordinary moment but also conveys a sense of adventure and exploration. Lisi Niesner's skillful lens has immortalized this remarkable display of resilience and harmony between animals and their environment. It reminds us that even amidst harsh conditions, life finds its way – one hoofstep at a time.
