It comes around again every year, and the beginning of Advent announces the coming Christmas time. The peaceful reflective motif shows the small church of Ranui in the Vilnös Valley, South Tyrol. Ranui (Rhaeto-Romance for “old farmyard on a branch of the stream”) was a farm that was converted into a small hunting castle around 1700, with a small church being added at the same time. The scene is dominated by the 3025 m high north wall of the Sass Rigais in the Geisler Group.
