Description
While visiting the Amish country of Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, my husband and I enjoyed just driving around the rural roads, enjoying the simplicity and tranquility of the area. We were out before sunrise on the day this image was captured, and couldn't help but notice several Amish schools that were all built and painted exactly the same. It would be a while before the children arrived, so I stopped at this location because the sky was such a lovely backdrop for a picture. As I walked in front of the school and raised my camera, I noticed the front door was standing open. Thinking this was strange at this early hour, I began to walk toward the door thinking that I just might get to peek in and see the inside. As I got almost to the little porch, I looked in to see a young woman sitting at her desk with a shaft of light coming through the window, perfectly illuminating her countenance. She saw me at the same time, so I waved and began walking closer. The teacher met me at the door with a quizzical look on her face, and I asked if it would be okay if I took a picture of the school in the morning light. After she assured me that it would be permissible, she shut the door and disappeared inside. Fortunately, I had already taken one shot before I knew anyone was inside, so my image does have the open door!
