Happy cows

Back again from Italy. This time it was the far North of it: Südtirol, or Alto Adige or South Tyrol, as you like.
Even though the Alps are invaded by lots of millions of tourists (like me) every year part of it looks still pretty untouched or at least still pretty. Especially the part around the Stilfser Joch, which is a protected national park area.
The peaceful grazing cattle on more or less green pasture in front of high snow-topped mountains looked truly happy. Even despite the fact that they have to wear cowbells all the time...which created the ambient bell sound of the valleys.
