"Captured: America in Color from 1939-1943"

http://blogs.denverpost.com/captured/2010/07/26/captured-america-in-color-from-1939-1943/

"These images, by photographers of the Farm Security
Administration/Office of War Information, are some of the
only color photographs taken of the effects of the
Depression on America’s rural and small town populations"



Many of you should recognize a number of those locations

At the bottom are more links to old photos

I've seen those pics before and they're really great. Some pics in Oklahoma are very close to where i grew up...some years later, anyway.

Great photos, thank you for posting. Those were hard times but a simpler time. Life today is too complicated and we are a very soft and fragile nation.
