A great image, the sepia is exactly right and that building in the back doesn't look too modern to me.
Guest 10-Jan-2010 09:34
Like Alister has said, the modern building in the background totally brings the image down to now. good capture, and thanks for sharing.

Great shot, very well composed. I had heard of it but never knew it was still being done.

Timeless tradition.

Wow, if it wasn't for the modern building in the back, this is straight out of the 18th century..

And they have turned their backs to you - as to be expected.
This is a truly wonderful shot Tim! V.
Walter Otto Koenig10-Jan-2010 01:12
A great shot. Really illustrates so well how the Amish not only deal with the weather, but how they make good use from it. We can learn a lot from these frugal hard working people. Thanks for posting this.
