    Where Was This Photo Taken?

    Published: Feb 16, 2012 · Updated: Feb 2, 2021 by Kevin Williams | 56 Comments

    This photo is taken from one of my favorite spots in one of my favorite plain settlements.  Can you guess where this photo was taken?  Whoever GUESSES (sheesh, I think some people Google photo-matching technology sometimes for these things, that takes the fun out!:)  it first here will get a copy of my romance novella, Rebecca at the Beach.  Please post your answer here, not on Facebook. Sometimes it gets confusing to have parallel discussions in both places. I'll tell you more about this favorite spot after we establish where it is.:)

      Adams County, Ohio in the town of Ravena on Hwy. 25 I think I spelled the town wrong. We used to travel that road going from Portsmouth to Cincinnati and then on to Carrollton, Ky. where we lived,.n

      Adams, County, town-Ravena on Hwy 25. We would travel this road going from Portsmouth to Cincinnati and then on to Carrollton, Ky. We would always stop at the Amish store and of course, I always had to buy something.
