A few days ago someone posted a nice shot of a horse and buggy at the Google Earth Community. The poster, called ‘bellenarcissa’, said there are Amish living in this area of Indiana – who still use this for their primary transportation. Then, other GEC members found several other horse and carriages around the area. One of the posters discovered a large store with numerous horse and carriages parked outside. Turning on the GEC Community layer while looking at the store, we find it is the “Town & Country Hardware” store which is located in Shipshewana, Indiana “Heart of the Northern Indiana Amish Country“. Here is a collection of the placemarks 
from the thread showing all the horse and carriages and the hardware store.
Over in GE Hacks we’re up to 30 sightings of Amish transportation in Nappanee, Indiana…

makes you really want to be in another time, when life was more relaxed and pure….
Carriages bring me back to the simple yet creative phase of the world. I prefer, however, a more fairytale like carriage.
