All baaaa one


These were the last few days before the flocks go up to the high pastures for the summer. As soon as the snows are over, everyone sends their few sheep to join the village herd, of sheep, goats and cows, who climb the slopes of Piatra Craiului in search of sweet new grass, wild herbs and springwater, trying to avoid being slaughtered by bears and wolves (75% of Europe's remaining large carnivores are in the Carpathians).
