The Amish. Their closed and little-known world, along with strict rules of conduct, generate curiosity and a desire to learn more about this "forbidden" or hidden way of life. The Amish are a unique example of the preservation of a traditional culture and way of life over centuries, which is of ethnographic and historical interest.

Their existence without the internet, smartphones, and cars in the 21st century is a striking contrast to a globalized, technologically dependent world. This evokes wonder and a desire to understand how this is possible.

Nostalgia for simplicity: For many, Amish life evokes simpler times, subsistence farming, strong family ties, and a strong sense of community, something lacking in today's individualistic society.

A curiosity familiar to many brought me to this unique place. Today, I begin my photo report from the Amish village, located in Landis Valley Village and Farm Museum.
