A real picture of a Swartzentruber Amish buggy from New York State that was sent in by a reader a while back, and that I have used on Amish Stories one time before. So I wanted to do something a little different and turn this Image into a water color painting (Art) using photo editing.I think it came out pretty good!

Reader Tom had sent me 2 sets of Images from his own Amish community in upstate New York, so this is the first of those sets with the second one having some very nice buggy Images and farm scenery from one of New York's Amish settlements. I decided to add this well done video showing some of what Tom sees driving the back roads of New York's country side. Richard

Tom writes:
There is a Swartzentruber settlement in the Pulaski NY area. This is in Oswego County along the east end of Lake Ontario. These pictures were taken over July 4, 2012.

There are going to be a lot of tomatoes coming off this field.
I find it difficult to meet and engage Swartzentrubers in conversations so I only know what I see in this area. In more progressive areas it is easier to talk to folks.
Tom explains that compared to Amish homes in Lancaster Pa, most of the homes in New York State are much less fancy and very simple like in this picture.
