TITLE: The shepherds

After a long day's walk in the Swiss mountains, we found ourselves surrounded by sheep that were leaving for another valley. This one was injured in the leg and could no longer move forward, the shepherd had to carry it. I was touched by the contrast of this harsh life and this protective gesture.
