The Homestead by digitalrn

The Homestead

This is a photo I took over the weekend of a local Amish homestead, very typical in our area. It was a very quiet Sunday here at this homestead, as the families must have been gathering at another home for Church this day. It is common for Amish families to alternate between homes for their Church services. I think the clouded sky, and a bit of texturing made for a nice finished photo.
yes, perfect texture and sepia tones to really set this off. great framing with the windmill.

Lovely! We are surrounded by Amish farms. Several of my barn photos came from Amish places. They are some of the nicest people I know! Great photo here and the processing fits it very well!

Gorgeous pov, Rick. Do they mind it when you photograph their farms? I would like to do more of it here, but I don't know if they would be offended.
