From barn raising to haymaking and buggies kicking up snow,
photographer and lifetime resident Don Shenk captures the
uniqueness of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, in more than 100
extraordinary photographs and four seasons. Lancaster County is
home to the world's largest population of Amish, a Pennsylvania
German religious sect that holds modernity at bay. Evocative
photographs of work and play, spring's preparations and fall's
harvests, reveal the character of a people who lead simple lives in
tune with the changing seasons. In the midst of this idyllic
countryside are Lancaster City, an artistic hub of nearly 60,000;
Lititz, voted the coolest small town in the country; and many other
charming towns. This realistic portrait of an iconic county will
delight both long-term residents and the hundreds of thousands of
visitors who pass through each year.
