Description
It was an Amish holiday and these teenagers were getting ready to play volley ball. They used buggies to anchor the nets. All the buggies used to anchor the nets were pulled from the adjacent farm onto this field by girls. The boys did not help at all. In this picture two girls are pulling another buggie into this field. The girls either wore black stockings or were barefoot.
This picture was taken on 5 June 2006.

Knowing in theory about the Amish is one thing - to see a pic like this is another! I´ve learned a much about these people. This pic is stunning as yours from yesterday. Greetings!

And critics want the photos to be obvious without resorting to caption.

...sehr interessante Aufnahme! Ob die wirklich "Teenager" sein dürfen? Auf jeden Fall mal wieder ein Einblick in das Leben der "Anderen" !

Were they aware you photographed them? From my experience (50 years ago...LOL) they did not like having a picture taken of them. It promoted vanity, etc. This is a very interesting shot. I never saw the young play games but I would see them doing chores or making things. Stellar shot!

Excellent candid capture of people who live in another time. Setting up volleyball must be considered women's work. Either that or the boys are being lazy. The American Amish are descended from the Anabaptists of Europe.

Well things have changed in the Amish communities, I have never seen the young ones have fun, I mean volly ball, the girls will have to jump about and their skirts might raise up a little. #;0). I always understood the Amish were stict in the raising of their familes and boisterous behaviour was only for boys and not too much of it either. So this is nice to see, the young ones enjoying something. Excellent work. Bravo!!!!!

outstanding work Sig. I love their pastries but I quit eating. there is a store about 40 miles from me, but I resist the urge to go there.
