The area surrounding Arthur, Illinois is occupied by a lot of Amish. There are always buggies to be seen.We have drove around on the back roads of that area, and while there seems to be more houses without electricity than with, there is always traffic flying up and down the roads. It makes it hard to get pictures of the farms or horses or clothes hanging on the lines.
great shot and this one has a lot of reflectors on it which is a good thing..
ReplyDeleteCountry roads simply aren't what they use to be but you captured a lovely scene of simplicity.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great shot. Sometimes going back to a simple life sounds very tempting.
ReplyDeleteOther than the tail lights and the triangle your photo could have been taken today or 200 years ago.
"Traffic flying up and down the roads" yeah! While in Missouri near an Amish area cars come flying over the hilly country of Missouri only to come up on one of these buggies in the middle of the road as there are no shoulders. It's insane way of travel or at least it seemed that way to this California boy.
ReplyDeletewow, that is really an enclosed one! almost reminds me of an old wells fargo money transport. :)
ReplyDeleteI was lucky to have visit Amish country in PA many years ago. This brought back memories of that wonderful trip.
ReplyDeleteWow, it must be awesome to see them on the roads!
ReplyDeleteThis buggy looks so new and in perfect shape. I have to admire the Amish for sticking to their beliefs so tenaciously.
ReplyDeleteAn enclosed coach--they must be fairly wealthy. Sure neat looking. MB
ReplyDeleteWould love to see these in person -- perhaps someday! :)
ReplyDeletePeople drive to fast on our back roads too, Rose. What's the rush?! I'm glad to see they have that triangle on the back of their buggy. I know some orders forbid or have forbidden it.
ReplyDeleteI thought Arthur had a large Amish population. Glad you posted this. This looks like a winter buggy of sorts. Looks quite elegant really.
ReplyDeleteVery nice capture! I can almost hear the clip-clop, clip-clop!
