At the pace of nature

This recording captures a poignant moment from my time living in one of southern Portugal's most secluded villages. Each evening, the shepherds and their dogs orchestrated a dance around the cattle, a ritual filled with nostalgia and reminiscent of my childhood. 

In today's rapidly modernizing world, such traditions are sadly fading, making these sounds all the more precious.
