Description
A visit to Lancaster county, Pennsylvania is always a pleasure. A couple of days spent in this area where a simpler lifestyle is well lived serves to take you back in time. It makes you realize that life doesn't necessarily have to be nearly as complicated as we tend to make it. Family, faith, and hard work are woven through the traditional values espoused by the culture that is prevalent in this county. There is a peace and tranquility here that can serve as an inspiration to many of us who have crowded out the simple pleasures that life can bring and traded them for gadgets and meaningless possessions. As my husband I were driving around the gravel, country roads in the area, this older couple in their Amish buggy were coming toward us on the other side of the road. I had my camera on my lap and took this shot through the windshield just because I loved the look of the couple in their traditional Amish dress. I was actually pleasantly surprised how well the image turned out when I looked at it later that evening. It truly captures that moment in time!

Love this capture, Marcy! Your processing is so nice and although I often envision b/w images as still life art; however to see the gentleman’s beard being moved by the breeze , and the shimmer of sweat on the horse and some foaming at his mouth, all brought a really special touch for me. So impressive!! Like/Fave/Love/FAN!

I so appreciate all of your positive feedback! I see we're almost neighbors. :) If you ever come to Knoxville, I'd love to invite you to visit my gallery in Painted Tree Boutiques. Just trying to get it off the ground.
