Reclused Saint
A photo of a saint from a votive column placed in the mountains.
Every year, shepherds ask good weather when keeping their sheeps up and down during the transhumance. Not an easy travel for them all.
Something more about the highest transhumance of Europe here.
In the story My Submissions and the story Entrapped.

In a way, the saint behind bars also stands for our hyper modern times. Hope is in there, tucked away, imprisioned, but there. To help those who keep the faith and care for the sheep.

Thank you John!
Unfortunately this year I can't go back to the transhumance. It is planned for Saturday and Sunday (12th and 13th September). If someone happened to be near that place I suggest you to spend some hours enjoyng the event! -
