Yesterday

Yesterday could mean this images was shot yesterday, or the image itself depicts yesterday!.

I had really ( I mean really bad light.. not to mention it was about 90 degrees!)but tried to make the best out of a bad situation.

I don't think this scene is available in very many places left here in America. If you folks can get down to Holmes County Ohio ( about 1 1/2 hr's SW of Cleveland, this time of year you still see scenes like this. This was shot just out of a little town called Charm

This isn't a know your socks off shot, but one that is disappearing fast( as did I after I made this imiage)

Nice image, Jack -- especially considering the light. Has a strong Currier & Ives feel to it. The composition works very well for me. You could also title it "Charm Farm".

I like the idea of capturing things that are quickly disappearing. I guess as nature photographers we do that every day.

Jack, you can save this a bit if you work with that sky. I had the exact same situation about 2 years ago not too far from there (Charm). Same sky color. I worked the sky a bit without going to far into the outlandish. Just a bit lighter and map it closer to sky blue. Good crop as is.

I like it even with the sky.The sky just proves it is from Ohio and not where the skies are normally blue. Nice capture Jack, to view one is neat , two is awesome.

Good image, Jack. This type of living is fading out really fast, but your images does an excellent job of capturing the normal life of such people.

Thanks for sharing

Neat scene and image guys, I have a question, do the Amish ( I assume Amish) not like to be photographed I noticed the scenes were all from far away?

Bernie,

These guys know we ( Tom Schwerin and I ) were there. We actually stood there for about 1/2 hr or so and they didn't seem to mind since we were ar a distance. I would tell you if they were very close to us they would probably run us out. Bob Kulon can tell you about that.!

However, if you meet them in a store etc.. most are really very friendly.

The best thing about being there is that you feel like you are in another world, Maybe its the pace, maybe it because there is no cell phone service!

It's a beautiful and charming scene, Jack, very much reminiscent of yesteryear.

Bernie, from what I have heard, no, they do not like to have their pictures taken.

Wow. This is classic stuff Jack. I wish I had known about this area when I was still living out that way.
