Playing Chicken with a Horse and Buggy

In Amish country and we happened to be pulling out of places at the same time. Us the cheese shop and them the bakery. It was cool to see their faces.

Wonder what the story is with this particular style of beard. All of the men wear it this way.

[Graham Thresher]

What an intriguing capture. Fav

wow - I imagine seeing this sort of thing only in the movies. Are the traditions continuing with the young ones? Great photo.

[Simply Amanda]

@jocasta We passed some schools and the young ones were out playing baseball in long dresses and overalls...very sweet.

[summerfield]

i wouldn't have dared taking their photos head on. i know they don't appreciate it, especially the much older ones. but you did a good job like you were actually in the way of the horse buggy.

[Beryl Lloyd]

A wonderful shot very brave of you to invade their space -- lovely to see both and the horse !

[Pea]

Wow, what a shot. they looks sort of scary

[Simply Amanda]

@summerfield I was in the backseat of the van. Shooting past the car in front of us and across a street. Don't think they could see me.

[summerfield]

@alophoto - atta girl!

[Simply Amanda]

@summerfield I try not to be rude :-) most of the time anyway.

[Danny G.]

I just saw that you are Amanda - lol.

[Simply Amanda]

@soboy5 It was time for a change. So weird to be an unknown.

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

Stepping back in time.

[maree_sanderson]

like this one better as you can see the occupants of the carriage...cool shot

[Amanda R.]

It's so interesting the way they live with all the rest of America zooming around them. So simple - I love their faces!

[Paula]

Great capture!

[Lee]

They look a little ghostly, But it's nice that the horse at least smiled for you. Good shot Amanda.

[ChristineL]

Great shot, I like that you can see the faces inside

[Kerri Michaels]

fav

[Annie D]

great shot - they stop shaving on their wedding day

[Lisa Stein]

What a capture! Like stepping back in time!

[tommykeith]

So, who won the game of chicken? Nice capture! Fun place to visit ... and take pics!

[Jerri]

I'd love to experience their lifestyle and learn more about them. Cool capture....wow cool info from annie!

[Rachel]

An usual beard style, isn't it?! Nice shot of their faces.

[Lisa Poland]

Fabulous shot. Only married men wear beards, but for some reason they don't grow them on the full face.

[Rosan]

Wonderful capture!

[alia_801]

Great head-on capture :)

[katy]

Fabulous composition and marvelous subject. So well done considering the obstacles you faced to get it! FAV

[Myrna O'Hara]

saw this on the PP, well captured

[Chris Johnson]

I don't know why but when I read beard I thought the horse had one, that is, until I realized you were talking about the men. Haha. Those are so long, interesting beards!

[*lynn]

excellent capture
