An authentic and colorful portrait of one of the world's largest Amish communities.



The rudimentary beauty of black-and-white cows, weathered barns, workhorses, and agricultural patterns makes Lancaster County remarkably photogenic. In nearly 100 images, including historic sites and rolling hills along the Susquehanna River, lifetime resident Don Shenk captures the simplicity and striking scenery of this agrarian-based county, home to the world's largest Amish population, as it changes from season to season. From sleepy snow-coated fields in winter to the colorful bounty of summer being sold at market, from the re-awakening of orchards in spring to a crisp buggy ride through autumn's dappled light, Lancaster County showcases its natural beauty and charm in this compact book. This is a wonderful gift for a friend, keepsake to remember a visit, or token of home for all who love Lancaster County.
