A place to present my thoughts, ideas and astonishment's about life in general. It'll have lots of photography plus my moments of epiphany about music, culture, books, politics, religion, media, sports, business and my favorite gadgets. I will not write about work! Enjoy!

Amish life is simple and fun. Plenty of walking or riding on horse-drawn vehicles. Here's a few scenes in and around Mesopotamia, OH. Enjoy! Labels: 5D, Amish, boy, buggy, canon, fall, family, father, Geauga, horse, image, Mesopotamia, Northeast, Ohio, photo, ride, road, scooter, sons, walk

I know a little about Amish life and I respect it. Anyone making such a complete commitment to self-denial of worldliness deserves all our respect. I pass through Amish country often and have known a few Amish families. I'll pass along some images to you as I go. Enjoy! Labels: Amish, farm, Middlefield, Ohio
The Amish buggies are everywhere in southern Geauga County.

I've always been curious the way the Amish bale their harvest. It's different than the more mechanized farms which make the rolls (I think they look like shredded mini-wheats!). The Amish baler makes a teepee-shaped pile. I spotted some of these bales at nearby Amish farm.
It's easy to spot an Amish farm in the summer by looking at the oat bales. Their farms are noticeably well-maintained and simple.
It takes a team of three powerful horses to sweep across the fields with the baler.
Here the farmer creates bales across his fields. He had to stop a few times to remove stalks that was trapped in the baler.
The baler driven by three horses and the driver whipped through the oat fields pretty steadily and efficiently.
The finished oat bales are ready to be collected and driven over to the barn for the livestock to eat.Copyright 2007 James D. Fisher
