Swiss cow herder


A Swiss cowherder leading her animals down out of the mountains at the end of summer in a procession called the Desalpe. This festival is celebrated annually, marking the time when the farmers bring their cattle down from the summer pastures in preparation for winter. Each cow has a decorative bell around its neck.
