I used to see orange orchards when I was a kid in California but I don't recall seeing many farms like this one. I think I read that there are thousands of farms in Pennsylvania. If I took a photo in this spot a hundred plus years ago it might have looked the same.If you would like to see other Sepia Scenes please click here.

Very nice. I have seen some like this one in South Illinois.
ReplyDeleteYou do not have to be in that spot to enjoy the beauty. Your photos brought it to us.
ReplyDeletePretty in sepia too!
Picture postcard perfect my friend. Love it.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this lovely place. That is why I enjoy the blogs. You can see things through photos and read stories you would never see before.
ReplyDeleteI came across Beverly Lewis books not long ago about the Amish life. Perfect setting for her books...
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful image. Looks like a simpler time when you see it in sepia.
ReplyDeleteLove the farm. The Amish life is very interesting.
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll drop by AtticMag and see the butterflies I found. #8 at Outdoor Wednesday.

This is a nice sepia shot. Love the treatment.
ReplyDeleteThe Amish do take excellent care of their farms, don't they?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pastoral scene looking aged in sepia tones. Also stopped by briefly to your other blog and was amazed at Peggy Pelican shots! Nice!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by my place and leaving your comment!
Kindly, ldh
ahhh...good deal, glad you did it in sepia, love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, James! We visit Illinois every few years and I can't resist driving around getting shots of barns...I'll have to try the whole farm sometime! I really like your framing and the sepia suits this scene so beautifully.
ReplyDeleteGreat picture James. Perfect for sepia; love the old windmill.
ReplyDeleteSunny :)
That is a very striking picture you have done especially with the sepia colours. Have a great Outdoor Wednesday and enjoy the easter Weekend! Sherri : )
ReplyDeletemagnifique photo, et j'adore ton choix du sepia
ReplyDeleteBeautiful for framing...Happy Easter, Joan
ReplyDeleteBeautiful farm and photograps..
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter James..
But this WAS taken in 1910, wasn't it?!
ReplyDeletePerfect photo for a postcard, James! There aren't many Amish farms near where I live but this makes me wish there were.
ReplyDeleteThe sepia is taking us to the past in a perfect way!I can imagine you with an old and big camera, putting your head under a black tissue and waiting patiently to get the good light...Ü
ReplyDeleteI saw many farms like this as a kid in Pa., but no orange orchards until I moved to California! Nice sepia.
ReplyDeleteyour sepia photo just needs a horse and buggy to make a perfect 100 years old.
ReplyDeleteGreat old with the windmill and silo.
James, Great picture, I also have seen these farms in Amish Country, they are so beautiful. Sorry You had to leave TEXAS.
ReplyDeleteBarbara
Beautiful! That really is postcard perfect.
ReplyDeletePicture postcard perfect. the sepia gives it that old time feeling. similar to farms here just flatter land. MB
ReplyDeleteGreat photo, James, and thank you for joining Sepia Scenes! I appreciate it a lot! Good job! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the sepia color, James. They just don't make farms like that any more. Well, maybe we will see more windmills in the future. Renewable energy is a good thing.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you are right James. This looks like it could have been taken long ago. I watched the TV movie Amish Grace this past weekend and it was a powerful story of forgiveness.
ReplyDeleteVery nice, and I do think that you're right with the thought that it might have looked quite the same once upon a time :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture. The subject, along with the sepia tones, gives this photo a very powerful nostalgic feeling. I like it.
ReplyDeleteJust an awesome photo just made to be presented in sepia.
ReplyDeleteThe silo is the only flaw: it is clearly modern, but the rest of the image is 'vintage' in fascinating way!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot James! Love the sepia tones.
ReplyDelete~ Tracy
Beautiful sepia capture & I love the vignette - And the windmill, too! Very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI like this in sepia, James. I think it gives the photo a timeless feel. Well done.
ReplyDeletethis is such a beautiful shot :)

Beautiful sepia shot. There are many amish communities in Southern Mo. where my Mom lives. Such a unique lifestyle.
ReplyDeletethis is awesome James and the sepia town is perfect for it. My little town in Calif had Avocado groves and Olive and of course Orange orchards!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right about the timeless quality of this image James. Excellent job and the vignetting is the perfect touch.
ReplyDeleteI ride past a classic farm scene when I go out bicycling. I must remember to bring the right camera and lens next time.
That's an awesome photo, I like the dark colouring around the edges.
ReplyDeleteCheers.
Melbourne Daily Photo
this is a gorgeous timeless photo. well done
ReplyDeleteNot much changes on a farm. The trees get bigger but that's about it.
ReplyDeleteI too like the sepia; it does look like a postcard from long ago. Nice effect.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photo. We don't see many farms here anymore. Sadly they are victims of the economy.
ReplyDeleteWow, the sepia does this justice!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Rebecca -it's beautiful in sepia. I'm looking at the house, and it must be a large family living there!
ReplyDeleteBefore I forget, you're one of the 4 whose comment I lost, because I was not quite awake yet and clicked on the wrong button LOL, but I did give a reply -happy Easter to you, James!
Beautiful photo, like a postcard!
ReplyDeleteWish you a Happy Easter
