Horses resting at a stop in a village in Lancaster,PA (Amish country) This is a horse-drawn taxi for shopping in the Amish villages. Thought these guys were kinda cute!

Nice shot Ami. I love shots that give a flavor of the culture of where we all live. This does that very well. I prefer the weather in this shot compared to what is going on now. Have a good weekend. Photo is really nice and clear.

That looks like the kind of job I would like. Nice, slow paced. Excellent shot. I am about 50 miles from Amish country. I love going there. Nice post, Ami.

Itīs a great shot and the horses are beautiful. Itīs also very interesting to see a picture of a culture we donīt have here and that I have only seen on film and read about. Very nice!

Well done, Ami! The horses are beautiful and obviously very well cared-for. I tried to photograph a horse-drawn tourist wagon that had stopped between excursions and didn't do nearly as nice a job.

Ami,

A very good capture of the horses - great focus and placement!

My only concern, and this would be applicable to everyone, is always be sensitive to the culture of those in our images. While I was living/working in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, I pretty much shelved my photographic equipment - it would have been a fairly major cultural screwup on my part to take/make images of people or that created in nature.

In your image, as the driver was looking away, it gave me reason to wonder if he was merely looking at something, or deliberately looking away from the camera itself.
