Strasburg, PA

This lovely town in the heart of Amish country is absolutely a must see place. I love it's classical American architecture. Even the poles that in many places can be rather ugly, appear to belong here.

B&W conversions

Sometimes a photo works better in basic black and white. I believe that these images gain from b&w conversion.

Lovely Strasburg, PA

Although I'm in Paris at the present time, I miss the States and the  charming small towns. Srasburg, PA is an example of such a place. It's located in historic Lancaster County and it merits a visit.

Old trains

The Pennsylvania RR Museum in Strasburg, PA, is a very interesting place to relive what was once the only fast way to travel long distances on this continent. In an era of fast and faster travel, trains, especially steam driven ones  provide nostalgic flights of fancy. Yet the power and glory of the old locomotives are very impressive. These  are cars and locomotives that  are to be refurbished and will  be added to the collection. A museum not to be missed.
