I especially like the Santa riding the bicycle. The way the lights are flashing it looks like the bike is actually rolling.:D

Hum I have the same problem as you Donna. It must be old age kicking in. I even tried the magnifying glass for a real close up. :D Maybe the wind blew the candles out?

It's one of the tricks of the trade old mate.
When I shop an image, it always looks like it's moving. ;)

Ya haven't got a blackout in your area have you Donna ????
I know why you are seeing black, that image is like a Magic Eye....so what you have to do is look at the screen, concentrate, and slowly cross your eyes, then it will all come into focus.

It is just a black box. Someone sent this to me in an email awhile back.

The Amish are an interesting folk. They are not allowed to have modern conveniences in their home like telephones but they can have one out on the pole at the end of the road. :D

"No lights, no phones, no motor cars, not a single luxury..." Oh wait, that was Gilligan. :p

I see now the reason the wheels look like they are turning, it's the flicker of the candles they are using. That was real inventive of those Amish to make the best with what they had. Moosmom, it might be they are changing out the candles when you look. I'm sure if you wait long enough they will light a fresh batch.:)

Yes, I knew they don't use electricity so I thought it was a candle display of some sort. Didn't know they don't decorate for Christmas, though.

Yes they can not have electricity in the house. They can have it in the barn or outside the home somewhere but not in the home. So I THINK Christmas lights outside would be within the rules. although maybe that's a bit much lol

Well, I think it is only fair then - that we decorate WOM with some Christmas lights and put him out on the lawn!:D

The Amish are a strange breed truly. A strange religion that bends the rules to fit so they can make money. No electric at home but at work? How is that God's law? Just another group of people who think they know what God wants as long as it make money for them.
Very odd. Is there a passage in the bible that says married men cannot shave?

Oh my god what a cutie pie.... I just want to hug you to pieces.

We've got a big community of Plymouth Brethren here where I live. The women all wear a little scarf on their heads......we've knicknamed them "Hanky Heads" :p:p

You picking on my Amish neighbors.:D Around here they use gas powered machinery to make their furniture. Karosene for lamps & lanterns & burn wood to keep warm. It takes to much time to shave they are busy from sun up to sun down. Besides those beards keep their faces warm in the winter. I like them they make the best pies, fudge, cookies, & candy. Some really neat quilts too. ;)

I like them as well. Been to Amish Country many a time, just a few hours for me.
Hubby works with them a lot as well making the cabinets for custom homes.
They are very hard working and talented.
But the beard thing is part of their religion, that is how you can tell if a man is married, once married he is not allowed to shave.
I don't understand where in the bible it says one can have electricity at work but not at home, enjoy modern medicine at hospitals such as the ones in Akron, Ohio but not allow women to go about without a hanky on their head.
Yes they are forgiving and peace loving. Staying amounst themselves peacefully and living off the land.
Except when they are huge puppy mill owners in PA. To them a puppy is like an ear of corn, something to make money off of.
They are just filled with so much gobbly poo religion wise just like the rest of society I guess.
Which makes them no better or no worse then the rest of us except for their cooking which is really good homestlye.
