Default Graveyard of wheels at Amish acres.

Im posting these for jake the pig whose a big lover of my amish photos. They were taken at Amish acres in Nappanee Indiana. A really fun place to buy amish goods such as quilts, bread.jams and much more...they serve a traditional amish lunch and then you can stroll around the grounds. Some of you might have seen these on flickr or posted on here a while back but i thought our newer dps members might enjoy them too.

Hiyas Lorriane !
I love when you do these.. wonderful feel and treatments on all of them, I can see the last on a plate or a wall hanging... just the right balance of image and white fade .

Great set ! ...

Vin

Great shots, Lorraine!! The amish theme really lends itself well to sepia and b/w. I like the selective colore of the hay, too. Well done! TFS

For some reason i find a trip to the amish very relaxing..i think their lifestyle takes you back in time. Im glad you enjoyed a touch of their culture.

Awwww thank you for posting the for me Lorraine. You know how much I love them and you posted some wonderful ones too. The first one is my favourite of the set. The pp work really gives it a postcard feel, but I enjoyed seeing all of them. You really know how to make the best of the Amish theme with your amazing pp skills. I know you love to see this lovely area and I always love seeing the results. Thank you so much Lorraine.

Love ya lot's
Hugs
Your Bessie David

I really like the tone you have captured in the first shot. You really have captured a "feel" in these pictures.
