Sheep Graduation Ryffenmatt

Once a year Ryffenmatt, a little town in center Switzerland helds a traditional specifique event called "Schafscheid" (Sheep Graduation). It's when summer is gone when shepherds get down from the alps with their sheep to sort them out and give them back to their owner. Due to the wolfs settlement the size of the flocks have dramatically decreased in the past years. 20 years ago a more then 1000 sheeps were rounded up in that small place. todays counting is less then 200 animals. I was trying to capture the local peoples mood with my camera.
