I was returning from my Grandson's flag football game yesterday when I saw a scene I thought looked interesting. There was a grove of trees with their fall coloring, a field of green winter wheat and a clouded sky with sun rays fighting their way through. I stopped and got set to take the photo when this buggy with the two Amish boys popped up from over the rise. I was so surprised, I almost forgot to take a photo. I only got one. We traded greetings and they were gone. Enjoy.

This could be a scene from 1710, 1810, 1910 but rare to capture in 2010. Lucky you happened to be in the right place at the right time to capture this timeless classic...most excellent!

“Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.”
Wow! This is like something from another era. Very well composed and good colors.

The Amish boys have contributed a lot towards making this already beautiful shot even more beautiful, Tick.

Wonderful shot - I'm amazed the Amish didn't object to you taking their picture - probably a once-in-a-lifetime shot.

Tick - Outstanding photo! The sky with the rays of sunlight, autumn tree colors, verdant field, horse and wagon with two young Amish men, all good photo 'stuff' (C, C, C, dof, and more) - kudos! Thad

Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain
Able to power off road with only one horse power! Our SUVs can't do that.
This is a very skillfully done picture Tick. The composition is simply excellent!

Wow, you got photo-bombed by these Amish tricksters.:)
Fantastic work Tick. A beautiful setting and lovely view of the wooded glen. Great autumn colours in the trees and a nice vibrant green field. Great work!

Think about the photo before and after, never during. The secret is to take your time. You mustn't go too fast. The subject must forget about you. Then, however, you must be very quick.

My friend....YOU GOT A CLASSIC! This is super! What a slice of life. I just love the Amish. KEEP-PAH!

Captivating. I really like it! Agree with previous comments. A lovely autumn scene already, heightened by the unplanned subjects. Excellent composition, timing and mood. Saved to enjoy more.

The horse, buggy, and Amish couple seem to fit in particularly well with the autumn colors as opposed to the brighter cheery colors of summer...great composition...best of luck in the contest.

I have a real interest in the Amish people and how they continue to exist with minimal technology in this world filled with internet and gadgets for everything. I always wonder how they come across as so serene and peaceful when they work so blummin hard on their farms and homesteads. There is a show that I have seen advertised called "Amish in the city" where it takes Amish kids and plonks them into a situation with modern day teens and then see's how they cope. Almost poking fun. I am glad to see a picture like this which respects their way of life. xx

What is life, if full of care,

This is one beautiful shot, Tick... and a timeless one too.
