I was in the Pyrenees last year and walked past some resident bovines. The only noise besides the crunching of our feet was the hollow toll of their bells. Very peaceful. Very special.; 30 September, 2009 08:08

Haha, not unlike sitting in rush hour traffic to get to the office where we tap on the computer, talk on the phone, grab a cup of coffee and repeat several times a day!; 30 September, 2009 08:10

kobico, yes, that's an alm, usually with a small cabin (Almhütte) for the shepherd to live during the summer. And it is wonderful there, yes.

Chapa, thank you! :-); 30 September, 2009 19:28
