Fall Buggy

We had to wait quite a while for the Amish church to let out so we could include a buggy in this picturesque fall scene. Each Amish church is defined by an ordnung (set of rules or order), androtates their service among different homes of their members every other week. Special wagons are used to carry their church benches between these constantly changing locations. View OPTIONS to see framing options and the location of the hidden state.

Long Walk Home

This Amish family was making a cold walk home after church. When the snow becomes deep enough, there are a few families which still like to hitch up their old sleighs. Seeing a sleigh is rare because an early morning snowfall may be melted off by the time church lets out and sleighs become stranded at their church barns.

Amish Snow Buggy

We captured this Amish buggy sitting out in the freshly fallen snow one crisp January day. The Amish will use their buggies until the snow deepens enough to hitch a sleigh - but only if snow is deep and weather cold enough to keep them gliding. Buggies may be cold inside on a winter‘s ride but a few blankets on the legs and lap make them much more appealing than walking.
