Stunning photographs capture the people and places of Lancaster County in their day-to-day lives. Often identified with its Amish communities, they are shown here as you may never have seen them before ? fishing, playing volleyball, and walking to and from school. The popular landmarks like the Central Market and the Strasburg Railroad, Amish farms, and covered bridges, are covered as are less frequently visited locales. The photographer is a local resident and the more than 200 images, taken while she was "out and about," crystallize the steadfast beauty of the area in all seasons. This is a great keepsake for both local residents and tourists. Photography buffs will also appreciate the artistic quality of the photographs and the beauty and diversity of the people and their activities. See for yourself why so many call it home and why it continues to be a top tourist destination. AUTHOR: An interior designer and photographer, Patti Thompson lives in Strasburg, Pennsylvania.
