A cow is lowered by helicopter after its summer sojourn high in the Swiss Alpine meadows near the Klausen Pass, Switzerland, on August 27, 2021. Photographer Arnd Wiegmann: "In parts of Switzerland, cows spend the summer months in the lush mountain pastures of the Alps. In the region of the Klausen Pass, which is 1,948 meters (6,391 feet) above sea level, more than a thousand cattle were due to come back down at the end of August. Sometimes they need a little help making the trip. A farmer told me about 10 injured cows would be flown out by helicopter the day before the rest of the herd made the annual Alpine drive, or 'Alpabzug.' The cows hung from the helicopter in a special suspension harness on a long rope and were brought down one-by-one in quick succession to a plateau near the top of the Klausen Pass. Waiting farmers and a flight technician received them and quickly released them. Surprisingly, they appeared very calm and did not seem to be anxious after their flight." #
