An Amish Barn

Sugarcreek, Ohio

November 2008

I think the only thing that keeps this from looking like it was taken years ago is the new steel grain silo on the left.

Amended Thoughts and Image

Reading through my comments with regard to the silo and making this look like an old photo I have taken my original sepia and added some grainy elements to it (thanks Mojo) to make it appear like an older photo.

Sky Watch: Amish Farms and a Sunset

I've been posting different scenes this week from my visit to the Amish Countryside of Sugarcreek, Ohio. These are some of the farms I saw along the way. This was one of the newer farms in the area. I love the old wagon to the right of the silo.

Windmills dotted the countryside.

We were there at corn harvesting time.

This one is my favorite. I love the peeling red paint, the white silo, the puffy white clouds,the old wire fence and the horse crazing lazily in the pasture. It has all the right elements for a peaceful scene.

We spent the entire day in Sugarcreek. As we headed home the sun was setting beautifully over the countryside.
