Oh, my, so many and so many classical images I can post...but here is one that is not seen by very many folks driving within arms reach of these beauties:

Okay, so for a few snaps out of hundreds of photos of this beautiful part of the world with those wonderful people:

This photo of mine often gets misunderstood for an Amish scene. But it's not.

I didn't think the Amish liked to be photographed. I could be wrong, but I remember reading that somewhere. My only experience with them is from a motorcycle trip through Wisconsin's Amish country. Almost every person we saw waved as we went by.

Dave, the windmill shot is really nice!

They generally do not like it.

Thanks, Akiva, these were simple snaps whilst on tour and shot with the Nikon D2H on our trip through Pennsylvania. Just before I re-discovered film and rangefinders!

Hundreds more needing post that I never got around to but will try to add some more over the next few days.
