EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, a herd of sheep fearlessly traverse the alpine pass Hochjoch, situated at an astonishing 2,856 meters above sea level. Taken on June 9th, 2018 in the autonomous region of South Tyrol, Italy by photographer Lisi Niesner, this image perfectly encapsulates the breathtaking beauty and harsh conditions of the mountainous terrain. The close-up shot allows us to truly appreciate these resilient creatures as they navigate their way through the cold and snowy landscape. Their thick wool provides them with much-needed insulation against the freezing air that surrounds them. The creative use of depth of field adds an artistic touch to the photograph, with some sheep appearing sharp and in focus while others fade into a dreamy out-of-focus background. As we observe this scene devoid of human presence, we are reminded of nature's ability to thrive even in extreme environments. The marked path serves as a guide for both humans and animals alike, highlighting our interconnectedness with the natural world. The winter weather has transformed this mountain pass into a frozen wonderland where only those adapted to such conditions can survive. This print captures not just a moment frozen in time but also symbolizes resilience and adaptability in face of adversity. It reminds us that amidst challenging circumstances, life finds its way forward – one step at a time.
