The photo of the Amish man and horses is poetry in itself, very 'Henri Cartier-Bresson', and if it were my own I would have it enlarged and on my wall in the front room I love it that much. It speaks of the simplicity of Hardy's Wessex, and the harmony that can exist between Man and Nature. Very moving :-)
@trombonegirl64 Thanks again. I very much agree with your sentiments. It's one of my favourite photos too, and I'm ashamed to say I took this and many others furtively, since the Amish object to tourists pointing cameras at them - and who can blame them? Ugh! However one might try to rationalise, it's at best rude, and I clicked this one through the car windscreen. And I went on to click my shutter many more times when I was among the Amish - for the sake of art...
