Transhumance
2014-02-27


The action or practice of moving livestock from one grazing ground to another in a seasonal cycle, typically to lowlands in winter and highlands in summer.
It origins from early 20th century French, from the verb transhumer, based on Latin trans [across] and humus [ground].

Just one more time about Winter Nomads, winner of European Film Academy Award 2012, in documentary category. Fascinating, intimate portrait of men living in nature, respecting it. Rare. Warm-hearted.
