Herdsman Stanislaw Floryn (L) smokes at the end of the first day of 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 20, 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.
