Combining the lush greens of summer, the cooling darkness of the forest and a sun-lit meadow, this quaint scene portrays a typical Amish horse and buggy riding along a quiet country road. Being at one with nature, Amish people shun the modern technology of the fast paced world most of us live in today. They live simple lives, growing their own crops and use horses to work their fields and provide transportation. Seeing them riding along the edge of highways, makes me wonder how their horses remain calm with motorized traffic and noise passing so close by.
