How about some winter shots from the New Wilmington, Pennsylvania Amish community? This is one of my favorite Amish settlements, dating back to my first visit one autumn going on 15 years ago. While the sights I saw then were of hues that matched more closely to the distinct brown-topped buggies of the local Amish, the wintry images in these photos better reflect our current season.
You’ll see several snow-covered homes, barns, laundry lines and an Amish school in the photos below, via local news station WCN 24/7’s flickr account. For a closer look at this community, you can also check out Don Burke’s visit and photos from several years ago. Enjoy:
