In August 2019, I photographed the "Sheep Crossing" for Keystone. 1,500 sheep are crossing the pasture. The hike begins at the Guschasattel and leads beneath the peak of the Falknis into the Fläsch "Täli," a high valley above the Graubünden town of Fläsch. The animals walk in single file through exposed alpine terrain.
