Thanks, shu. I was visting Lancaster County during that time and came across this scene in an Amish Village "museum" type place. Given what had just occurred the few days earlier, this capture seemed like a respectful way of expressing solidarity with their bereavement. Regards jnconradie

My, what a wonderful tribute! A beautifully-taken image portraying a very tragic event. Simple little shoes. This really tugs at my heartstrings!! How did you come upon this scene? shu
