    Nice. Did you try an "old fashioned" sepia?

    Nice. They don't make them like that anymore.

    Actually they do. The Amish and Mennonites in this part of the world still use horse and buggies as their primary mode of transport. Both groups are well known for being photo shy, so it's a challenge to get a good shot of them.

    Another Image of Amish Culture - in Pennsylvania and Ohio

    Of an Age Gone By

    We are so darned POLITICALLY CORRECT that many folks don't know anything about this phase of Amish Culture...

    Richard, thank you for this unsettling view of the "Pennsylvania Dutch" ...

    ... we took a touristic visit to Berlin, Ohio, long ago and was charmed by it all - took snaps, bought post-cards, ate Amish food (no cracks, please) ...

    ... today, that visit became less nostalgic!

    I carefully avoided the most grotesque Amish Puppy Mill images so as not to shock folks. If anyone is interested - here is a link to some more...

    I think of this everytime that I hear it is impolite to shoot photos of the Amish...
