Every year, I look daily at my inbox to see what pictures may have come in as entries in the Annual Amish Country News Photo Contest. Each time I click to open a photo, I am a little excited, because I never know what I may see. Sometimes I actually gasp with delight, or give a soft-spoken “Wow” under my breath. This year was no exception.
And the Winner is…
Suzanne Mayer – Lafayette Township, NJ
This sunset picture was taken from our campsite at Country Acres Campground from campsite 864 when we were there in June. We were lucky to have such a beautiful view across the farm field from our campsite.
Marlin Bennetch – Birmingham, AL
This well–maintained farm is symbolic of the PA Dutch countryside and the Cows were extremely curious and interested in me.
Thomas Herr – Narvon, PA
Taken outside of a One–Room School house. As you can see, the children were using dried leaves to spell out God’s feelings.
Honorable Mention — “Harvest Time in Churchtown”
Ray Smecker – Lancaster, PA
I stopped at this spot and looked up and saw this grand gathering of a bounty from our very peaceful valley.
