EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image, a large flock of sheep makes its way through the picturesque village of Urepel, nestled in the heart of Lower Navarre, Pyrenees-Atlantiques, Nouvelle Aquitaine, France. The rolling hills of the Basque Country in south west Europe provide the idyllic backdrop for this scene, as the flock moves gracefully across the landscape, guided by their shepherd. The village, with its quaint stone houses and narrow streets, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region. The Pyrenees Mountains, stretching along the border between France and Spain, can be seen in the distance, their snow-capped peaks reaching towards the Atlantic Ocean. Sheep herding has been an integral part of the rural economy and way of life in this region for centuries. The traditional practice of transhumance, where sheep are moved to different pastures according to the seasons, is still alive and well in Urepel and other villages in the area. The aerial view of the scene offers a unique perspective, allowing us to fully appreciate the vastness of the landscape and the intricate patterns formed by the winding roads and fields. The clear blue sky and the lush green hills add to the serene and peaceful atmosphere of the image. The Atlantic Ocean, located to the west, provides a constant source of moisture, making the region ideal for agriculture and livestock farming. The presence of the ocean also adds to the region's unique character, with its mild climate and diverse flora and fauna. This image captures the essence of rural life in the Basque Country, showcasing the harmony between humans and nature, and the enduring traditions that have shaped this beautiful region for generations.
