Description
hello Rendosians !
I'm back from my vacations in Austria.
I had the chance to go in the alpine pasture where I met this lovely cow.
She was looking at the landscape and then at me and said :
" You know Virginie, there is no more beautiful country".
I was about about to answer her that I knew many beautiful places on Earth but stared at the landscape and thought that this cow was maybe right. She was the wise one because she was contemplative and recognized the true beauty : the beauty of the most simple things of life.
So I keep my answer to myself and let her have the last word of the discussion.
I sat down and share with her a moment of silent contemplation and meditation !
Soooooo ! "Kein Schöner Land" means "No more beautiful country" as you have surely guessed.
It is also a traditional german song.
You can ear it there : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNAdOuEhzZw
here are the lyrics :
Kein schöner Land in dieser Zeit
Als hier das unsre weit und breit
Wo wir uns finden wohl unter Linden zur Abendzeit
Wo wir uns finden wohl unter Linden zur Abendzeit
Da haben wir so manche Stund'
Gesessen da in froher Rund'
Und taten singen, die Lieder klingen im Eichengrund
Und taten singen, die Lieder klingen im Eichengrund
Dass wir uns hier in diesem Tal
Noch treffen so viel hundertmal
Gott mag es schenken, Gott mag es lenken, Er hat die Gnad'
Gott mag es schenken, Gott mag es lenken, Er hat die Gnad'
Nun, Brüder, eine gute Nacht
Der Herr im hohen Himmel wacht
In seiner Güte, uns zu behüten ist Er bedacht
In seiner Güte, uns zu behüten ist Er bedacht
And the english translation :
1. No country more beautiful in this time,
as ours here, both far and near,
where we feel well under the lime trees
at eventide.
2. Many hours we have spent here together,
sitting in a happy round,
singing together, the songs ringing
through the deep oak glades
3. God grant that we may meet again
many hundred times here in this valley
may God grant us this, may God make it happen,
in his mercy.
4. Now, brothers, good night,
the Lord high in his Heaven is watching over us
In his goodness, he intends to protect us.
Have a great day ! Thans for the click and the comment if you have time !

Il y a des vaches plus heureuses que d'autres, comme chez les humains, et celle-ci n'a pas l'air spécialement stressée! Les montagnes au loin me font penser que tu as du voir de très belles choses ! Une très belle photo, Virginie, et bon retour !

Virginie, I am so glad you're back and thank you so much for sharing this wonderful photo with us.

That really is perfectly composed! The way the hill slopes down at the left and the cow's gaze lead the viewer's eye to the stunning mountains in the background... very nicely done and a beautiful scene!

J'ai d'abord cru à une publicité pour du chocolat (rires !) meuh non, c'est juste une vache qui aime son petit coin de terre...bon, je ne vais pas chipoter mais vers chez moi c'est au moins aussi beau et ailleurs aussi !!! Ton image, pas de doute, c'est une des plus belles que l'on peut voir.
