Description
Young Amish girls strolling barefoot on a very hot summer afternoon. Women and girls wear long dresses that are never shorter than calf length. The dresses may be in a variety of solid colors depending on the individual community, but are always covered with black or white aprons. According to Amish dress code, the hair of Amish women and girls must always be covered in public. Women wear white prayer caps, usually made of organza and stiffened with starch. In some communities, the caps are constructed of softer fabric, held on by strings tied under the chin. This photograph was taken from afar using a very long lens. Location back roads of Pennsylvania Amish country.

I love the Amish. These girls don't look happy...beautiful though. I love the simplicity of the people.

I love the Amish as well Patricia. Their life and ways are humbling in comparison to the fast paced material world we live in. This shot was taken on a hot day which may explain the faces. They did smile as I passed by them.
