A very rainy Garvine’s Grist Mill (York County, PA)

I had been meaning to get to this particular mill for a while and with rain and fog on this particular day(4-25-2010), it seemed like as good as time as any. Nice shooting weather. It would rain and stop, rain and stop all day long. This mill was built somewhere between 1800 and 1830. It is...

This happens most of the time when they are startled by people or dogs or people with dogs and they make a hasty take off. Taken near the Arrowhead Industrial Park Retention...

Sometimes the simple life isn’t so simple…

An Amish family returns from Sunday church services in their horse drawn buggy and tries to outrace a violent storm that descends upon the small farming community of Strasburg, Pennsylvania on 3-29-2009. I really felt bad for the horse because seconds after I took this, half inch sized hail began to pound down all around...
