Pine Grove bridge hs a double Barr truss... and horse exhaust.

An Amish farm in August.

A bovine beauty...

Cornflowers and fly...

Belgians... even Amish workhorses get Sunday off.

Mercer's Mill covered bridge from the Chester County side. There's a familiar car on the other side.

Pretty on the inside...

Jackson's Mill bridge over Octoraro Creek. There's an Amish farm in the background.

The cows at this farm were making a bit of noise as I was checking out Jackson's Mill bridge.

A random Amish farm in southern Lancaster County. I could drive around here all day.

Leaman's Place overed bridge near Paradise...

A brown and swollen Susquehanna river as viewed from a bluff north of Columbia PA.

A tobacco drying barn...

I've been spending some time lately driving around southern Lancaster County Pennsylvania. I particularly enjoy observing the Amish and finding out-of-the way covered bridges. I don't photograph Amish people because being photographed is against their religion.

The Susquehanna was high because of rainfall associated with Hurricane Ivan.

Tobacco is an important cash crop in Lancaster County, especially to the Amish.
