Hanging hay on drying poles, Oberau 1937

In a meadow scattered with drying racks, a man in a hat and shirtsleeves, a pipe between his teeth, lifts forkfuls of hay onto a tall wooden pole while a woman in a kerchief rakes up the loose stalks beside him; the pole disappears under a shaggy cone of hay. In the wet Alpine valleys hay was hung on such poles and racks to dry in the wind, since it would rot if left lying on the ground.
