About Us

We are located in the middle of the Amish country of Central Illinois. Many of the photographs that you find here are images from the simple life of the Amish. Photographer Richard Herschberger has lived the biggest part of more than fifty years in the area working, playing, celebrating, and weeping with his Amish neighbors and relatives. But many more of the images are parts of life that are meant to be enjoyed as well such as sunsets, sunrise, flowers, deer, the clouds, etc., the parts of our world that can bring challenges and joy.

The gallery of images here exceeds greatly what little space allows in the store-front gallery. We hope that you enjoy browsing the images we enjoyed making available for your pleasure.

This Amish man is connecting his earthly world with the powers of the air. His sons were below keeping steady the connecting shaft as he turned the blades to match up the yoke.

When we arise in the morning, we choose the atmosphere of the new day.

When we work with the power of the earth, we are honored for our efforts with joys that settle deep.
