In the middle of the quiet high moor on the Söllereck, where the Allgäu Alps blur in the mist, a woman walks - her red umbrella stretched over her like a shining sign. She is over sixty, perhaps more, but her steps seem calm and sure on the wooden plank path that runs like a silent ribbon through the Hühnermoos. The sky hangs low, heavy clouds press down on the landscape and the mist gently swallows up the contours of the spruce trees at the edge of the forest.
There is a hint of melancholy in the air, but at the same time a deep, peaceful silence. Every drop that glides off the umbrella tells of the constant change of nature, of the coming and going of the seasons - and of the quiet richness of age, which carries wisdom with every step. The umbrella in her hand glows like a thought that refuses to be lost, a sign of hope in the midst of the fog.
Here, in the secluded beauty of Bavaria, time seems to stand still. The woman becomes one with the landscape, with the moor, the forest, the mist. It is an image of contemplation, of inner peace - and perhaps also of a farewell or a new beginning.
