Shepherd Krzysztof Bachleda-Curus (L) and his friend Stanislaw Gubola (R) lead a flock of sheep during the autumn 'redyk', a centuries-old highlander tradition marking the end of the grazing season by descending sheep from the mountains, in the village of Podwilk, Lesser Poland region, on October 21, 2024. The way from summer pastures to wintering grounds often lasts several days and even a week, during which shepherds and their sheep cover dozens or even hundreds of kilometers.
