St. Jacobs Ontario

I have always liked the farming area near St. Jacobs, Ontario, just west of Waterloo. The local residents are Mennonites, whose culture is very similar to that of the  well known Amish. They are renowned for their beautiful hand made quilts, and their hard working lifestyle. Black horse-drawn buggies that are used for transportation by the locals, can be seen every where in the area. The Mennonite homesteads are almost two centuries old, having originated in the 1850's. The farms n the area are very picturesque, and always attract my eye. The image has strong horizontals, as well as a strong triangular shape, which creates interest in the center of the frame.
