Morning stillness over the Loretto meadows:
A soft light creeps over the Loretto meadows near Oberstdorf. The day is awakening, still soft in the breath of the mist that rises from the valleys and disappears on the slopes of the Allgäu. Between dew and twilight, the grass glistens, damp and alive, as if to welcome the sun.
The cows - Allgäu brown cattle, rustic and calm - stand scattered in the distance. Their breath steams in the cool morning air, the ringing of their bells sounds like a quiet prayer in the distance. The church tower of Loretto rises above them, narrow and silent, as if pointing the way to heaven.
Behind the roofs of the village rests the blue of the mountains - majestic, patient, surrounded by threads of mist. Time seems to slow down here, filtered through the scent of hay, wood and rain. Every sound carries the purity of the beginning, every ribbon of light tells of a new day.
A feeling of eternity resonates in this quiet harmony of man, beast and land - the Allgäu in the gentle breath of the morning.
